Oh, _that_ kind of drive!
I have a Convergent MiniFrame with a 96TPI 5.25inch diskette, capable of
reading and writing MSDOS diskettes recognizable as 720K.
Via Unix "dd", I might be capable of writing files usable in the RX50.
Maybe "mtools", the tool I use for reading and writing MSDOS diskettes, is
available for the RX50. That would make moving the Kermit binary simple.
