If you are trying to transfer some files from a Xenix system to a VAX,
just format the floppy with diskutil, but use the "I" (IBM) format.
That's what we do if we have to transfer some data from a Model-16
to our 780 if we don't have uucp set up on that machine. The VAX and
TRS-Xenix will both read the IBM format.

I hope this helps. 

(The normal disclaimers go here).
