We have a Microvax I with Microvms. It has an RX50 diskette drive.
As far as I know, there is no utility to format RX50K diskettes.
I read somewhere in a book by Peter Norton that the diskette controller
in the IBM PC is somewhat programmable. Does anybody have or heard
of some nifty IBMPC utilty for formatting alien diskettes, namely RX50K.

Thanx loads,
