Is there a hardware emulator that can emulate RX50's from images to a
Pro?
Been wondering that...
As far as the releasnotes tell FlashFloppy by Keir Fraser support RX33 and
RX50.

Perhaps David Gesswein's MFM emulator could be modified to do that. You
might ask him. I don't think it does so out of the box, though. The
signal frequencies are much lower than those of hard drives.
Some others make products that claim to offer the capability,
https://www.drem.info is one (mentioned by David) and I also found this
https://www.shopfloorautomations.com/hardware/floppy-connect/ . I know
nothing about either. Standard PC floppy formats use 9 sectors per track
but normal drives can handle 10-sector DEC formats too. If the emulators
are done right they should handle that as well, but of course you'd have to
confirm that.
