- There is a PC program that I grabbed off the net some time ago. It's
- called "RT11.EXE", and does a damn good job. It can read/write RT-11
- RX50s in the PC's 1.2MB drive, and also has the added bonus of being
- able to format cheap PC diskettes for use in the RX50 drive.
- Sorry, but I can't remember the archive site that I got it from.
- Some enterprising soul will have to do an archie search for a site. The
- author has the following at the end of the docs:
-
- This software was produced by Mark Aitchison, Department of Physics,
- University of Canterbury; the software is not public domain, the rights to
- the software are not shared, but you may share the executeable form of the
- program so long as no charge is made and this message is retained.
-
- If anyone has an archive site, I can ftp it so anyone can grab it.
