My setup is an 11/70 running BSD 2.11.  I “dd” the RL pack to a file on
one of the file systems (I have the equivalent of 4 RP06 drives) and then
ftp it to where I want it (since the 11/70 is on my network…actually at one
point it was on the internet where anybody could log-in).  I can also do
that with RK05’s and RX02’s.  ;-)
