The RX50 was a single sided 800 block floppy. The first two tracks had no

it's still a floppy, and other than size, much like the RX33 with 1/3 the
number of blocks.

TU58, no -- that's not a file structured
device on RSTS. RX33 is an
RX50 in a different physical package if I remember --
800 block MSCP
device. That works fine, subject to the necessary tricks to get the files
on the floppies and do the switching.
No, RX50 was a strange DEC format. RX33 is a 1.2M floppy.
