Recently found some long-lost images of 5 1/4" floppies that were sent
to me... 10-15 years ago. Here's one of them:
http://www.corestore.org/RP06.552
I've never seen that .552 file extension before. Any clue? It's
possible that refers to a version number rather than some obscure disk
image format...
(They are allegedly Setasi Shelby RP12 boot disks btw :-) )

Seems to be a MSDOS 5.0 boot disk, with just one important program,
RP06.EXE, on it, and then some support programs.
As far as I can see, it is a physical backup. Could the 552 just be a serial
number `?

That's kinda what I expected actually... so you reckon they're just in
normal raw image format for e.g. Rawrite?
