I bought a set of five DEC RX01 8" floppies (for

have an RX01 hooked up to my PDP-8/A) but I thought the contents might
be of interest to someone before I wipe them.
They are labeled VAX PSI V3.0 1/5 thru 5/5, (c) 1984. In order they
are AS-L154G-BE, AS-L155G-BE, AS-L156G-BE, AS-DC36B-BE, AS-DK35A-BE.
I did email Al Kossow about archiving but maybe he didn't receive the
message.
Anyhow, if anyone is interested, please contact me off-list. I don't
have a VAX so I can't read them.
Perhaps we can trade for blank SSSD disks?
I'm in the UK so trading probably isn't worth it.
I used to work in the group that produced those (well, wrote the
software, someone else cut the media, I guess).
I have a set of PSI floppies of roughly that era but mine are RX50s (I
think: they're in the attic somewhere right now ...).
I don't think I've ever seen PSI software on 8" floppies before.
If you do manage to image them, I'd certainly be interested in a copy.
