I believe there is an XXDP utility that converts an IBM 3740 format disk into an RX02 disk with the higher capacity. Then you can copy files onto the RX02 disk from RT-11, etc. Am I correct that one can do this?
All of this of course assumes that you already have an RL02, drive running, but I seem to remember you do. Right? Bill
