Any recommendations for how best to image RX50 diskettes? I want to preserve
the diskettes I have.
Are they the same format (80 tracks, 10 sectors, 512 bytes) as the RX50 on PDP11s? If
yes, you can either use a PDP11, or you can configure Linux to 10 sector per track format
and use dd. If the sector ordering is as strange as on the PDP11, dd will get the data
very much out of order, but it should all be there. I can find the PDP11 interleave rules
if you need them.
