Does anyone run 'putr' on a Pentium or Pentium II? It's the utility I'm
the most interested in being able to run. I've tried running it in DOSemu
under Linux and that doens't seem to work.

The ONLY PUTR that I am aware of is from John Wilson, the fellow
who also wrote an emulator for the PDP-11 called Eratz-11 or E11 for
short. BOTH work VERY well.
I have had a PC with a Pentium 166 MMX available to me for the past
year whenever I need to use PUTR to transfer files from either an
RX50 (5 1/4" floppy - DSDD media required), an RX33 (5 1/4" floppy
with HD PC floppy media) and an RX23 (3 1/2" HD floppy media).
Obviously the first 2 media require a 5 1/4" floppy drive on a PC which
is the HD 1.2 MByte version on the PC. The third media requires a
PC 3 1/2" 1.44 MByte floppy drive on a PC.
Does this answer address the question?
