I had a friend in another department who manages a MicroVax, and he brought a stack of 50 disks over and formated them on my Rainbow. He said they work fine! He said that VMS had no capability to format the RX50 disks, which I found hard to believe at first, but then I thought, oh yea, that's the DEC way of thinking. -- Michael Nora | Internet: mwn@mike.ufnet.ufl.edu University of Florida | UUCP: ...gatech!uflorida!beach.cis.ufl.edu!mwn Data & Video Network | MaBellNet: (904) 335-8312 {or 8300}
