Hi All
I did find some RX50 images of
the MicroRSX distribution.
So I fired up my DEC Celebris FX.
It runs W95 and has a 3.5 inch floppy,
a real RX33 5.25 inch drive and a CD-R.
Its accessible on my network so
getting files onto it is not a problem.
So install putR.com , and transfer
the image files.
Huh! putR says the RX50 disk is
write protected. Its not and the drive
works normally with the disk from the
MS DOS prompt.
So much for putR writes RX50's on
RX33!

Rod,
Not sure an RX33 (if 1.2MB
equivalent) would write working RX50
800k (double density) disks. Very
different drives.
I've successfully put an actual RX-50
drive on my PC, and written RX-50 images
using PUTR. You might try that route.
