Interesting, as XXDP V2 have a format that appears to
be pretty much the
same as RT-11. (Including FLX being able to read it, more or less.)
Hmm. My experience (of reading XXDP V2 disks with my own code) disagrees.
And the RSX doc says that FLX supports DOS-11 disks/DECtapes (in addition
to DOS-11 magtapes which are *much* easier), which are very similar to
XXDP+ format (so maybe FLX has tweaks for the slight differences?).

I think I must have remembered wrong. I just tried, and failed. I think
I confused it with the XXDP tape I have, which I sortof can read with FLX.
It seems I don't have any tool that can read my XXDP disk under RSX.
