I was able to use FLX to transfer a couple files over to a ESDI Hard Drive
that is RT-11 formatted. I don't currently have any RL drives attached,
and am trying to avoid that.

Well, I got a couple of RL01 images transferred over to the PDP-11 and
using RSX-11M 4.2 I've looked through the manuals for MOUnt, ALLocate, and
ASSign. I also spent a bunch of time experimenting this morning, but
failed to come up with a solution.

Slight problem, I wanted to access the drive from a VS3100, all my Q-Bus
machines have TK-50's :^) Oh, well, I knew this one was a little far
fetched.
