The MicroVAX floppy drives are RX50's, the same as used in the Rainbow. We have a version of an old Unix program which read 8" CP/M disks from the console floppy of a VAX, but are having a hard time converting it to work for the 5.25" RX50's. Most of the problem stems from the face that we can't get good documentation on interleave factors, reserved tracks/sectors, etc. used by the MicroVAX. If anyone has tackled this problem, i would really like to hear from you. i hate looking at raw dumps. -neville CSNET: neville@umass
