Salut,
Is there a program out there that will let me read 5.25" diskettes that
were written on a PDP-11 running RT-11? It's the same low-level format as
a DEC Rainbow, but the file allocation table et. al. is not the same so I
can't access files easily. I'd like to be able to copy files from a PDP-11
to a PC using 5.25" floppy diskettes.
-Cris

The RX11 diskettes are single-sided, 80 tracks, 10 sectors per track (at least they are on the Rainbow). -- Gerry Wheeler Phone: (519)884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc.

Xenosoft sells Xenocopy for $80 - it handles MANY formats: CP/M, Radio Shack
Color Computer, etc. Don't know about the RT-11 disks, but they can answer
your questions. Check the ads in BYTE - they advertise about every other month
