Are they the same format (80 tracks, 10 sectors, 512 bytes) as the RX50 on
PDP11s? If yes, you can either use a PDP11, or you can configure Linux to 10
sector per track format and use dd. If the sector ordering is as strange as on
the PDP11, dd will get the data very much out of order, but it should all be
there. I can find the PDP11 interleave rules if you need them.
