a couple of candidates, as far as which computer I use, but I need to
make sure that the onboard FDC will read and write FM disks.
The best way to do this is to just try it (on a known good FM disk) and
see if it works.
I'm assuming that if I can write an RX01 image
to floppy on the PC
and boot it on the PDP-11 (RX02 drive), I'm good to go?
Probably.
