VCP will do the trick for you, but for that you need the latest version of
RSX.
If you have that, the command is just VCP COPY

  Finally luck is on my side - I have VCP.   Never used it before, but after
perusing the help it looks like I need to do something like

	VCP CONNECT xyx/CR:RL02
	VCP COPY/DEVICE DL0: VF0:
	<swap packs now>
	VCP COPY/DEVICE VF0: DL0:
	VCP DISCONNECT VF0

  My fingers crossed.....

    I think I'll go crank up the 730 to copy the RL02...
:-)

  Sadly the 730 doesn't boot.   I was afraid it wouldn't - the RA81 is being
cranky.   "Servo fine positioning error" (which probably means "the HDA is
trash"!)   Those things are not particularly reliable, but there aren't many
alternatives for disk drives.
