>From decvax!cwruecmp!ordy@Berkeley Fri Oct 2 00:38:17 1981 Several years ago an RX02 floppy driver surfaced from here (CWRU) which was written by Bill Shannon (decvax!shannon). The driver was written on a system with DSD floppies (DEC compatable!). We have found some hardware "features" which make the software not work correctly with actual DEC drives. For anyone interested, we have the driver (works for both versions now), as well as formatting programs and boot code. DSD drives can also write the sector addresses as well as data, useful with strange media (?!).
