   Not laughing.  As a matter of fact, I have some RX02 floppy disks 
with DEC labels, indicating that they were XXDP distribution disks.

   Until the company that gave them to me bulk-erased them....

   There's a web page that details using SIMH and the available RL02 
XXPD images to extract an RX50-based ZRQCH0.  I'm not at the computer 
where it's bookmarked, but I will be later tonight.

   Or, I also have a standalone ZRQCH0 that boots from VTserver, if you 
wanted to go that route.

   By the way, I haven't been able to get in touch with Jonathan 
Engdahl, but if he's reading this, "Thanks!"  For the XXDP directions 
*and* the DS500-to-PDP-11/53 howto.  They both work wonderfully!
