Um, bzzzzt. Wrong. I have a floppy labeled: BL-FN7AP-MC CZFNAP0 M-11
FORMTR RX50 . This is a formatter program for a Micro PDP-11.
It is a *diagnostic* program (not a user program) for formatting these
beasties. Mine is for the -11, I would imagine that there is one for the
MicroVAX as well.
Of course, it is copyrighted.

RX50's came pre-formatted from DEC. There
was never a way to
format them on PDP's or VAX as far as I knew. I do think it is
possible to create them using PUTR and an old PC with a proper
floppy controller and a 1.2M floppy drive configured the right
way.
You can format them on a Rainbow, but not an -11 or VAX.
