RX01s are so generic they are a standard for 3740.  Seriously if it can't 
read RX01 its more than broke.  Now if it reads more unusual formats that
are not clearly 3740 then thats different.  

FYI: I use 765A(base chip on S100), 9266(765A from SMC with internal data sep),
and 37C65 (WDpart) and 37c665(in a PC) to read and write RX01 and 
SSSD CP/M interchange media no problem.  In fact I get RX01 floppies by
formatting them using that hardware as RX01 can't format blank media.
