I don't know about the PRO 350 and P/OS, but you can format the RX50
diskets on the Rainbow under MS-DOS for use by the MicroVax. 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.
