I tried mailing this, but herbert@flp.uucp didn't cut it.

I have a public domain thing called RX50DRVR that I use with the 1.2 Meg
drive on my AT to read (and write) the RX50 floppies from my rainbow.
Works great (and especially handy because the AT is on the net).
I don't know if the Pro350 RX50 drives are compatible, but I bet they are.
This driver will read and write the RX50 floppies fine, but you must format
them on your DEC machine.  I got this anonymous FTP from somewhere ...
lemmee see now.

OK, I got it from drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu  128.2.232.11 on the internet.
cd [anonymous.info-dec-micro]  they even had the source, rx50src.zip.
Of course you need the usual unzip tools to unpack the stuff (and of course
you should set binary before the retrieve)  let me know if you have any
trouble.

BTW - it isn't public domain software if the source code isn't distributed.
