PUTR has the ability to format, initialize, read and write RX50 format diskettes for use with OS278 and RT-11 operating systems. To copy this RX50 image file to a diskette put the diskette in the drive and use the commands shown below. The following assumes that b: is the 5 1/4" drive, otherwise substitute your drive letter. For more details read the PUTR document file. You can skip the formatting step if you already have a formatted RX50 diskette. ************************************************************************ * NOTE: the /BINARY option is required in the copy command below. * ************************************************************************ C:\>putr DOS prompt PUTR....

The only change is to update the firmware to version 422, which lets this diskette boot on DECmate II, III and III+. The original DECUS program would only boot on the DECmate II. ------------------------------- diskette directory: 01-Jan-86 NOTES .TX 0007 1 01-Dec-84 OS278 .PA 0010 245 01-Dec-84 CD .PA 0375 81 01-Dec-84 BUILD .PA 0516 202 01-Dec-84 BATCH .PA 1030 96 01-Dec-84 FOTP .PA 1170 112 01-Dec-84 1350 23 6 Files in 737 Blocks - 23 Free blocks
