Other DEC diskettes may have done this, but RX50's are just higher track
density, but old pre IBM-AT data encoding rate diskettes.
At least on the Rainbow the floppy chip is kept in MFM mode all the

You're quite correct--I didn't notice the "RX50" until I'd posted.
No,
I was thinking (as probably was the OP) of RX02 double-density.
