Wow. That is a marvelous story.
Just one comment: using the GreaseWeazle makes sense here, but other options
would include seeking out the help of the community. For example, 5.25 inch
floppy drives are widely available, and reading RX50 format on an ordinary
drive in Linux is a trivial exercise. Similarly, feeding the recovered device
image to a SIMH instance would be easy enough. The tricky task of translating
the application data to readable text still remains in any of those approaches,
of course.
