My hard-drive MINC uses a cable like Ethan described. That is, a 
cylindrical cable with a Berg socket on one end (which, in that machine, 
plugs into an RLV11) and an RL-type plug on the other, which plugs into 
one of the 2 RL01s in the cabinet. There's a normal RL-RL cable linking 
them, and a terminator, of course.

COme to think of it, I think my RL8A came with that sort of cable.

But they're electrically the same, you can use either.
