C-Kermit should run on it if you can get it over there. I don't have
Venix on anything so I can't say for certain.

If you have access to a PC AT type machine and can get a program like
Uniform from MicroSolutions, you can format RX50s on the AT. The Pro's
controller can't format diskettes.

I can snail-mail you a floppy with RT-11 KERMIT on it if you're more
familiar with kermit.

Sounds like you might have a MASSBUS controller in that 11/04; you know,
RM05 huge disk pack type things. But then I might be mistaken.

Say, aren't you the guy that posted that stuff about the DE-100 in
comp.os.cpm?
