I have a restored and (I think) functional PDT-150 with dual 8" floppy drives...
The PDT-150 was also sold with a VT-105 as the MiniMINC and can run some
versions of RT-11 (at least V3b). On my site there are images of disks, but
it requires a PC capable of writing single density format to an 8" disk. IMD
is not the most common format in DEC circles, but it is in PC land.

IMD is good. John Wilson's putr is good. Plenty of ways to write an
RX01 with a PC that can write the format and has an 8" drive on it.
I'm working on that myself (John recently sent me a 24V boost PSU, so
I'm going to try to hang a Tandon TM-848 off a DOS/Win3.11 PC, but I'm
also likely to grab an RXV21 and stuff it into a MicroPDP-11 and use
vtserver with an enclosed RX02 from a MINC-11 - after I run it through
a refurb to clean out dust and hardened positioner grease).
