What's the best way to slurp up DEC RX50s?

Jerome Fine replies: While the RX50 is still a very standard drive for real DEC PDP-11 hardware, the RX23 (3 1/2" 1.44 MByte floppy drive equivalent to and probably identical to the same drive on a PeeCee) is very rare on a PDP-11. The uVAX 3100 did have a special SCSI adapter to use the RX23, so I presume that the RX23 was more widely used with that system. However, if Ersatz-11 is being used, then PDP-11 software is being run - obviously. So an RX50 would be widely in use. The first time I ever wanted accept some work for a PDP-11 that was to be delivered out of town via the internet was on a system that used an RX50 at both ends. PUTR was the perfect solution for small files of less than 800 blocks. Just copy them to an RX50 on the PDP-11 at my end, use PUTR to copy the file to the Windows 95 (it was 3 years ago) directory (and don't forget SET COPY BINARY), attach the file to an e-mail. At the other end, the reverse was done. PERFECT and fast - about 10 minutes not hurt that TSX-PLUS was the operating system being used which is compatible with RT-11. -- Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.
