I do not know off the top of my head, but I have an original distro
of RT-11 v5.3 on RX50 that includes an extra disk for the Pro series.

At the moment, I don't have a PeeCee with a working 5.25" drive (got
all the parts I need; just need to get it all put into the same box
again). Once I do, I plan to make disk images of what I have (as
well as to digest several hundred MicroVAX VMS distro floppies)

I won't be able to give you an answer right away, but I do have
the physical means to do so (presuming the disks still read - I
haven't read them since they fell into my hands).

So if anyone knows off the top of their head, speak up. Otherwise,
I'll see if I can pull various resources together to get an answer.
