That didn't stop me being massively nervy installing a VMS v5.0 upgrade from RX50s to
a customer's VAX 11/50... I think it was the first one that I'd done so no

Are RX50 drives less robust than what was used to
install Windoze 95?
I never installed it this way myself, but MicroVMS on the MicroVAX II was distributed on
RX50 floppies: lost of them.
Of course, that was then and the floppy drives were younger and less temperamental (and
perhaps the same could be said about the people feeding the drives floppies ...)
