    The Rainbow uses a DEC disk called an RX-50K, I think.  The RX-50K is
supplied with a strange, low-level format already applied to it.  You can
create this format on any HD and most DD disks if you have some of the
support programs for CCPM-86.  It has been a few years since I had a 'bow
of my own to work on, so I don't remember exactly how to do it.

P.S.  I may have a Rainbow again soon!  Hurrah!
