There is an old DOS tool for turning PC floppies into RX50 floppies.
IIRC, you need a 1.2Mb Floppy drive in the PC. I can't remember if
you convert DSDD or DSHD floppies to RX50's.
Finally, someone has changed one of the RX50 disk
units
for what looks like a standard (PC style) 5.25" disk
drive. I'm just wondering if this was a standard thing
to do, or a bodge?
Good question, sounds like you either have an RX33 or someone has
hacked a Teac of the correct model to work as an RX33.
