Rod,

Not sure an RX33 (if 1.2MB equivalent) would write working RX50 800k (double density) disks. Very different drives.

I've successfully put an actual RX-50 drive on my PC, and written RX-50 images using PUTR. You might try that route.

Hi All

I did find some RX50 images of the MicroRSX distribution.

So I fired up my DEC Celebris FX. It runs W95 and has a 3.5 inch floppy, a real RX33 5.25 inch drive and a CD-R.

Its accessible on my network so getting files onto it is not a problem.

So install putR.com , and transfer the image files.

Huh! putR says the RX50 disk is write protected. Its not and the drive works normally with the disk from the MS DOS prompt.

So much for putR writes RX50's on RX33!
