Assuming Robins use the DEC standard 5.25 inch floppy formatting
(i.e., the same as for the RX50) you CAN read it on a PC with a bit of
work. I did that in my program "rstsflx" which is available on some
ftp servers (or I can provide the relevant code fragment if anyone is
interested). Both Linux and DOS can do this. I don't know about
WinNT and its descendants, though -- probably not.
