Speaking of liking to run my VAX....(:+}}...

I am trying to set about to make a MVII VAX with Ultrix-32M, V-1.x.

Alas, I can't seem to find a good way to write the floppies.

1)  Anyone got a spare set of Ultrix-32M floppies they don't need?

2)  Can I work back from a NetBSD on the MFM/floppy controller to
    the Ultrix-32M, i.e., use the NetBSD box as a floppy writer?
    I would think so, but I dunno what is the best version of NetBSD
    that would fit or support the MFM/floppy controller.  I have the
    RD54, so that might support a recent load, althought disk space
    would be the main consideration.  I need about 20mb to load the
    Ultrix-32M floppy images.  Also, what sort of jumpering is needed
    to run the MFM/floppy controller off a machine with scsi or esdi
    as the main controllers.

3)  What kinds of floppies work best in the old dual-floppy drive?
    I have heard that most reasonable DSDD floppies will work if they
    don't have hub rings.


Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Bob
