Well, it took almost the entire weekend to get the

my laptop. I had to get 2 9 track tape drives working (at the same
time).
I used the following to get the floppy images:
dd if=/dev/rrx2 of=/tmp/rt11.n
n was the # of the diskette
If I recall correctly, the RX02 is a 256-byte block. Maybe you need
to add "ibs=256 obs=256" to the dd command.
Also, if you have a Linux or *BSD system you can attach to the /45's
serial console, you can image the RT-11 diskettes straight to the PC
disk with vtserver's built-in "copy" function. I've used it to
duplicate a bootable BRUSYS floppy on the 11/84.
