I was just realizing that I gave away probably my only installed copy of
the RX50.DRV shim the other month... This was an MS-DOS device driver that
remapped the standard HD 5.25" drive to be Rainbow RX50 compatible.
Does anyone have this or something like this that works with current MS-DOS?
(or even old DOS versions, I could boot an old version to just copy files)
I have a bunch of RX50s lying around I should look at before disposing of...

Oh, *that* Tom Jennings! I wasn't paying adequate attention. Your
name is all over the "useful people to know if you own a Rainbow"
documentation I have (Yes, I own a 100A, 8087 adaptor, 832k RAM, Hard
drive board and an ST-225 (I think?) in it right now.)
