Testing PC controller for FM disk capability

   I'm setting up a YE-data 8" drive (YD-180) to use with a PC.  I have 
a couple of candidates, as far as which computer I use, but I need to 
make sure that the onboard FDC will read and write FM disks.

   I'm assuming that if I can write an RX01 image to floppy on the PC 
and boot it on the PDP-11 (RX02 drive), I'm good to go?

   Is there a list of FDC chips known to support FM?
