You need to find a copy of a file called     RX50.ARC
(Of course these days it may be  RX50.ZIP  or  RX50.LZH)

The package includes a driver you put in CONFIG.SYS and a program that5 will
let you put MS-DOS directories on pre-formatted RX50s.    What you end up
with is complete read/write compatability between your AT-style 1.2meg floppy
drive and your Rainbow's RX50 drives.

So check your favorite Rainbow-oriented BBS for the package named above.
If you can't locate it, drop another note in this echo and I'll tell you
the name and number of a BBS that does have it for sure.  It's worth it.
