I was just realizing that I gave away probably my only installed copy of
the RX50.DRV shim the other month... This was an MS-DOS device driver that
remapped the standard HD 5.25" drive to be Rainbow RX50 compatible.

Does anyone have this or something like this that works with current MS-DOS?
(or even old DOS versions, I could boot an old version to just copy files)

I have a bunch of RX50s lying around I should look at before disposing of...
