Makes sense - it was 04:00 when I ran across it. Too bleary to notice
the minor detail of size.

Not a case of want. If I needed, for example, to make a stack of
distro floppies from images for, say. a Pro-380, there aren't a lot
of options except writing real media. I was just curious if a real
RX50 did a better job than a Teac FD55GFR or not. I would expect
"not" given the construction qualities of both devices, but I thought
I would ask.

I'm thinking PDP-11 at this point.
