Hi!
Well, after a good bit of work I have finally gotten my Compaq XE4000 up
and running with Windows 98, the BIOS all set, a new battery, and of
course a 1.2mb 5.25 floppy that seems to be working.
I'd avoid teledisk. I'd look at Dave Dunfield's ImageDisk. It produces
those img files directly. It's linked from
http://dunfield.classiccmp.org/img/index.htm
I'd now like to start sucking the rare images I have here on RX50 into a
TD0 format which can be converted to a .IMG format
which can then be
used on the mighty GoTek's to allow people to run such operating systems
as:
Micro RSTS 2.1
Micro RSX (I forget the exact version)
Micro-11 Maint disks
Ultrix 11 Version 2.0 (all 30 disks)
Oh, these are interesting.

Has some interesting goodies too, but none of these excrpt maybe yhe Micro
RSTS stuff. Maybe if you get them imaged, you could send them to Al.
If you are in Denver by chance, I'd be happy to help image these too.

Before I start popping these in I have a question: I just did a test
using an XXDP floppy and the message I got included
Single sided, double density
Interleave 1:1
Sector Size is 512
And then for each track from 1 to 82 (?) it said
"Data, No ID adding sector 110"
Is this right? Something else I might need to do for reading RX50's?
Thanks!
