I assume you want to go from DEC-format RX50 disks to IBM PC 360k disks, yes?
If this is the case, the best thing I've seen is Media Master.  It can
read/format/write RX50 disks on a PC-AT 1.2 meg drive (or any other 80
track drive) and then set attributes to copy files around.  Best use I've
found is using this to make normal joe DS/DD disks into RX50's for the Pro.
