Could anybody spare a clue or some suggestions on how to access the contents of:

Hmm, maybe that BASIC.DSK image file was created by something that
only copied the initial allocated logical sectors and ignored unused
logical sectors at the end of the floppy, and maybe PUTR doesn't
handle disk image files that are not the expected full size?
Example of padding the 486,400 byte BASIC.DSK image file to a size of
512,512 bytes...[which works]
Ah ha! Thanks much, Glen!
simh is usually pretty good about padding out attached images, but maybe I'll try the
same thing there and see if RT-11 can then read the disk directly itself. If not, I can
extract/rewrite via PUTR.
