Picky, picky picky...
The old Golf Ball Typewriter Shop list is long gone, and this was

Anders Magnusson clarified that the DG Nova architecture support has been
added by him.
It was not part of the original.
It is also a work in progress so not quite usable as of now.
I will try to make it work for simple single file C programs.

A completely software driven controller could handle reading an RX02

There is a switch on the logic board inside the RX02 to indicate whether
the drive should be RX01 or RX02 compatible

Something that can format floppies for the RX01 can effectively format RX02
floppies, too.
An RX02 drive can convert RX01-formatted floppies to RX02-formatted floppies.

I have, as far as I recall, a 8" single sided full height Shugart drive here
that I swapped out of my Trash 80 Model II for a pair of half height DSDD
drives many many years ago.
I can send it to you for the cost of postage if it is of use to you.
