 You can't format RX50's with any Dec PDP-11 hardware.  You probably can
 with a VAXstation 2000, or using a PC and the proper software - there's
 instructions for doing it under Linux with a 1.2MB floppy drive and DSDD
 disks on the web.  If you want to I can probably find them. 
Also putr for DOS:

Although I've not been able to persuade my RX50 to read disks formatted
by it, but I've not really tried hard yet...
