How to transfer data FAST?

Hi,

after several cleaning orgies, my SMD disk (AMPEX DFR-996, see other 
posting) seems to start working.
Now I want to backup the data contained on the disks. These are RSX-11 
volumes. I cannot read them under RT11. And I don't know if I can make a 
diskette RSX-11 to inspect the data. Or is there a preogram which runs 
on rt11 and is able to understand rsx11 filesystem? That would be great!

My first idea for the backup was "copy/device dm0: tt:" which works. But 
there is no error correction and still only 19200 baud.

So tell me, what are the really cool methods to transfer data between a 
PC and a real PDP11 at a reasonable speed? SCSI controller and SCSI 
disk? Something else? Ethernet?

Or is a backup over serial line a normal thing...?


Regards,
Philipp :-)
