That reminds me, I need to image some Rainbow floppies I have.

I've read Rainbow disks with both Linux and FreeBSD's floppy drivers. However,
the track layout is 'weird' and I never hacked together anything to cope so that
mount and friends would be able to read the disks.

I can't help but you make me remembering some files
If it's running MS-DOS, you should be able to find/write something to do a raw
image
dump out the serial port.
That reminds me, I need to image some Rainbow floppies I have.

I have a Rainbow 100+ with a working hard disk. I want to image the disk
before it fails and then emulate the Rainbow. The disk is an RD51 and

For imaging my first thought is to put the disk into a MicroVAX II, net boot
the MicroVAX into VMS and do a BACKUP/P
