I've got some rx50s still in use. If Johnny can't do this for you I can
have a shot at it..

Subject: [HECnet] DECmate II and OS/278...
Hi,
I have just become the proud owner of a DECmate II (in original
packaging no less :-). I had hoped to do something fun with it, but
unfortunately at the moment is is loaded with WPS. So, I was hoping to
load OS/278 onto it. Unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can
use to write the floppy images to.
So, after Googling around I came across something called a KryoFlux:
https://www.kryoflux.com/?page=home
They don't specifically say that the support RX50, but I did find a
couple posts on their forum suggesting that maybe it could be done.
Before I go off and buy one of these (and a 5.25 floppy drive, although
not from them...) I was wondering if anyone out there had used this
before? Maybe a different solution?
Alternatively, if there is someone out there who could help copy the
OS/278 binary and source images to RX50, I would be really appreciative.
I'm more than happy to pay my way and provide the disks.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Regards, Tim.
