Hmm,
I think I have an RX01 that I can hook up to my PDP-11 .
Someone just asked me today if I can transfer some data from
RX01 floppy, so I'm going to be look into this side of things.
c-kermit, PDP-11 come to mind.. Maybe someone closer can do the same.
The standalone restor program in unix 32v might help??

alternatively, you could write a "console to disk image" bootstrap
that simply reads the data blocks off a serial line (console or some other DR11-W) and
writes them out to disk..
Short enough that it wouldn't take too long to manually enter the
opcode data.
Cheers,
Steve
