I accessed the FTP site and downloaded some files from

a while since I used Teledisk so it should be fun. Is Teledisk the best app for
transferring the files. I believe I also have 22disk, RainDos, and Uniform.
Of those listed, I believe that TeleDisk may be your only choice.
Uniform and 22Disk take dead aim at CP/M format disks - with a couple
minor exceptions - and RainDos sticks pretty much to the Rainbow.
TeleDisk is rather more flexible.

Sifting thru the various programs I was very impressed
by the possible
capabilities of the 350. It seems quite a bit more powerful than the Rainbow.
I hope it looks for floppies before the passworded HD. They mention that you
can make a new startdsk and link it to the old one bypassing the password.
The default password is SYSTEM according to a file on the FTP site but
doesn't give a substitute for username.

Nice. Probably the best thing for it.
Two marked jumper positions on the daughtercard.

RD51?
RD52?
RD52. Quantum 540 full-ht. Those
daughter cards can be upgraded from 128K to 512K by replacing the 4164
DRAMs with 41256s and adding W1 and W2. Not sure if you pull both cards and
install one upgrade or if you can install two 512K cards; haven't tried it
yet.
What's W1 and W2 ? There's no KBds. but IIRC from postings here
it can use the lk201's that
I have with my Rainbows.
Absolutely.
I also have VR201 and VR241 monitors which I
believe will work.
Yep - the VR201 will work on any Pro350 configuration. Not sure if
the VR241 will work if you don't have the color option. Again, I don't
have the handle numbers here, but if you have two cards in the CTI cage
with a ribbon cable connecting the two, but attached to nothing else,
you probably have the color option. In fact, with 4 cards total, I'd
suspect you have the color video board set, an RX50 controller and an
MFM drive controller.
I have some blank 5 1/4 DEC floppies and from
discussions
here I can use a 'bow to format more for them.
Yes. You can also use a 5.25" drive in a PC (Teac FD55GFR is one
of the best to have for this) and format *double density* blanks
for it (the coercitivity of the HD media is different than the DD
media - the RX50 uses DD media, formatted single-sided, 80 tracks,
rather than double-sided, 40 tracks like for a PC, but it's the same
media).
