Not a case of want. If I needed, for example, to make

distro floppies from images for, say. a Pro-380, there aren't a lot

RX50 did a better job than a Teac FD55GFR or not. I would expect
"not" given the construction qualities of both devices, but I thought
I would ask.

And why bother. Is a Teac FD55GFR a 5 1/4" HD 1.2 MByte floppy?
If so, it can probably be used as an RX33 with an RQDX3 on a real
DEC PDP-11.
I have no idea if it can be used on a PRO380.
I would definitely NOT use an RX50 on a PeeCee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I
haven't ever even hooked up my RX50. So far, TK50 & netboots have
been sufficient.
Don't got a DECNA. :-( TK50 and ethernet would be OK for
uVAX, though.
I'm thinking PDP-11 at this point.
YES!! The PRO380 does not (as far as I know) have a controller for the
TK50.
And the PRO380 does NOT have a controller for the RX33 either!!
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
