Yes but the only bootable media for SCSI is the TK50. conformant to

The disk interface for floppy likely also supports rx50 format (single
sided rx33), so RX50 floppies with stand alone backup can be used. You can use backup to put stuff on RX33, there is a

for the invocation.
One way to get VMS from a working system is to do a standalone
backup/image of the disk on the host and then write that backup set to the
