[HECnet] DECmate II and OS/278...

[Tim Sneddon]

Hi,

I have just become the proud owner of a DECmate II (in original 
packaging no less :-).  I had hoped to do something fun with it, but 
unfortunately at the moment is is loaded with WPS.  So, I was hoping to 
load OS/278 onto it.  Unfortunately, I don't have anything that I can 
use to write the floppy images to.

So, after Googling around I came across something called a KryoFlux:

     https://www.kryoflux.com/?page=home

They don't specifically say that the support RX50, but I did find a 
couple posts on their forum suggesting that maybe it could be done.

Before I go off and buy one of these (and a 5.25 floppy drive, although 
not from them...) I was wondering if anyone out there had used this 
before?  Maybe a different solution?

Alternatively, if there is someone out there who could help copy the 
OS/278 binary and source images to RX50, I would be really appreciative. 
  I'm more than happy to pay my way and provide the disks.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Regards, Tim.
