Hi
Well I have had a huge response to my request.
I am unsure as to if I have defined the problem properly.
So a few bullet points.
1. The objective is to copy RX50 disk images (*.dsk format) to genuine
DEC RX50 disks.
2. The PC I want to use is a DEC Celeibris FX ie the PC and its W95
Hi Rod,
The "*.dsk" format is just a file extension. What utility created the RX50
disk images?

I think you're unnecessarily limiting your options by refusing to use Linux,
which as we've pointed out is something you can do on your existing PC without
overwriting the OS that is on it now.
As for SIMH, I am quite convinced that it IS a perfectly good answer. But
sure, if you have all the

Rod, you've defined the problem well enough.
Have you read the PUTR manual thoroughly?
As long as your hardware is OK, PUT

I’ve written RX50’s to generic PC SSDD disks using a DOS window in 98SE. As

To test the false "Write-protect" error, try:
Put a BLANK floppy in the drive, and ask Windoze to FORMAT it.
For simplicity, choose the "360K" or "720K" format.
See what if any errors that generates.
If no errors (or certain specific other ones), then we can assume that the

98 and 98SE are still loaded from DOS and you can shut down and exit
to DOS again too, if you know how. There's no functional dif

I have no hardware that would run Linux and has a floppy controller.
However thats no longer a problem as I have obtained a full original
MicroRSX distribution on RX50.
But thats not the end of the story. RT-11 is next

What version of MicroRSX?
Remember RT11 has a limit of 33mb disk partitions, might want to just
get 30mb MFM drives and run it off the RQDX3
