I just put a compressed blank RM03 at:

        ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/pdp11/empty/rm03.zip
and: ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/pdp11/empty/rm03.dsk.gz

The file is about 64 KB either way, and yields the same empty RM03.DSK
image file, which has a correct null bad sector list, and serial # = 12345.
It works fine with RSTS DSKINT under Bob's emulator, I assume it will make
RSX happy too.
