Umm... 8"
is what pretty much defines RX02s... I don't know of an RX02
which was other than 8"
You gotta get out of the development world and into the real world
a little more often, Megan :-). I do a lot of software development
for ADAC NMR (aka MRI) scanners that run a heavily modified RT-11 V4,
where the 5.25" 80-track floppies are basically treated as if they
were double-sided RX02's. (i.e. the geometry only uses 77 tracks,
and actually skips the first track, just like a real RX02!)
That may be (about getting out of the development world...) but
my statement stands. A true RX02 is pretty much defined as being
an 8" floppy... you said so yourself in this response by saying that
it was 'treated as if' it were an RX02... But the fact is that a
3.5" or 5.25" (or some size other than 8") device which is 'treated
as if' it were an RX02 *IS NOT* an RX02.
