Good enough Charles!  I was a bit confused myself about whether RX50DRVR
was required for RT11.  As you discovered, RT11 accesses the A: drive
directly, without recourse to the RX50DRVR.  I was confused because
you can ask RT11 to access arbitrary drives (including the F: drive),
but that's only because RT11 will copy files from your RX50 diskette
to other DOS directories.

The traffic on this topic has been quite comprehensive the last few
days.  Perhaps one of you gentlemen would be motivated to compile
the definitive summary and stash it somewhere as a FAQ for future
reference.
