I have a program to read & write RT11 *5 1/4 inch* diskettes, if any one wants
the source (Turbo Pascal) and is willing to play around with it to work with
the 3 1/2 inch disks and make the results available, I'll send a copy. The
program is a bit too big to post in its source form here, but I'm happy to make
it available (especially to anyone providing an anon. ftp site).
