Subject: need to read CP/M files on microVAX drives

The MicroVAX floppy drives are RX50's, the same as used in the Rainbow.
We have a version of an old Unix program which read 8" CP/M disks from
the console floppy of a VAX, but are having a hard time converting it
to work for the 5.25" RX50's.  Most of the problem stems from the face
that we can't get good documentation on interleave factors, reserved
tracks/sectors, etc. used by the MicroVAX.  If anyone has tackled this
problem, i would really like to hear from you.  i hate looking at raw
dumps.
