I had a lot of problems with that one myself...  I was using standard Double
Sided/Double Density diskettes without to much of a problem but I found out
that the Rainbow uses a Single Sided/Quad Density diskette that is specially
preformatted for the RX-50 Disk Drive...  They're not too hard to find but
they can be costly...  Best bet is to call one of the Dec Fido BBS's and ask
the Sysop where you could get them cheap...  I hope this helped..
