[Simh] RQDX2?

I'm searching for an RQDX2 controller. I know this is rather far from 
PiDP discussions or simh, but I'm hoping that maybe some people on those 
lists also might happen to have some real hardware.

I have a few RD53 drives I'd like to read out the contents of, and it 
seems they were controlled by an RQDX1 or RQDX2. I have an RQDX3 
controller, however, the on disk format differs between the RQDX1/2 and 
the RQDX3, so I don't have any ability to read the drives right now.

Since I am in Switzerland (near Zurich) someone local would be much 
easier, but if someone somewhere else have a card, is willing to ship 
it, and don't expect a bunch of money in return, I'm interested in that 
too. If nothing pops up, and can solve this myself at Christmas, when I 
go back to Sweden, where I have access to more hardware. But being an 
impatient guy, I'm trying this option as well... :-)

Also, an RQDX1 should also work, but if possible, I prefer the RQDX2, 
since the RQDX1 have some additional issues...
