Andrew, have you tried other ST506 disks than RD53 or RD54? IIRC none of the RD disks were DEC built disks, but relabeled ones from other vendors.
That's true, but I think at least in some cases (and, perhaps, on some
systems, like a Pro) they required non-standard jumper configurations.
Also possibly low level formatting, which might require tools that
aren't easily available.

Yes, low level formatting might be needed. If my memory serves me right, both VS2000 and the RQDX* have a low level formatting utility in the ROM.
I have to check that out.
