Name
       rx - RX33/RX23 Small VAX floppy disk drive

Description
       The  RX33  floppy  disk	drive,	when used by either the workstation or
       multiuser configurations of the busless Small VAX  processor,  is  sup‐
       ported  by  the SDC disk driver.	 The SDC disk driver also supports the
       RX23 floppy disk drive in VAXstation 3100 Model 30  systems.   The  SDC
       driver handles the RX33/RX23 disk on drive 2.

       The  RX33  floppy disk drive reads and writes both RX33 and RX50 floppy
       diskettes.  The RX23 floppy disk drive reads and	 writes	 high  density
       (18  sectors  per track) RX23 floppy diskettes and reads double density
       (9 sectors per track) RX23 floppy diskettes.

   Formatting RX23 Floppy Diskettes (VAXstation 3100 Model 30 Only)
       The floppy diskettes used with the  RX23	 floppy	 disk  drive  are  not
       always  preformatted.   Although	 the  ULTRIX system does not currently
       include support for online formatting of diskettes, the VAXstation 3100
       diagnostic t 70 command allows you to format diskettes.

       Use the following steps to format diskettes:

       1.   Shut down the ULTRIX Worksystem Software, and halt the processor.
	    # /etc/shutdown -h +5

       2.   Insert the diskette into the RX23 drive.

       3.   Enter the following at the prompt:
	    >>> t 70

	    The t 70 command begins to prompt you for information. Answer each
	    query as in the following example. Press the RETURN key after each
	    response:
		 KA42 RDRXfmt

	    VSfmt_QUE_unitno (0-3) ? 2

	    VSfmt_QUE_RXmedtyp

	    ( 1=RX33 ),( 2=RX23 ) ? 2

	    VSfmt_QUE_RUsure (DUA2 1/0)	 ? 1

	    VSfmt_STS_FMTing ..... OK

	    VSfmt_STS_CKRXfmt .....OK

	    VSfmt_RES_Succ
	    >>>
