Answer to my own question - about an hour for a small disk, as much as 3
hours for a large disk full of data.  Once the image gets to what I assume
is "blank" space, it goes a lot faster.  You can see this by watching the
READY light and the monitor panel.  In the case of RT-11 5.0 it took over
an hour.  I assume the UNIX disk will take two or three hours.
