Need software to read/write DOS-compatible disks on DECstation floppy drive.

[omar]

   We have a bunch of DECstation and VAXstation platforms running ULTRIX
that are equipped with 3.5" floppy drives.  We would like to find some
software that would allow us to Read/Write DOS-compatible disks.

   We have SoftPC for evaluation but it's pretty slow on disk operations and
ideally we'd like something in the public domain (i.e. FREE ;^)  ).

   Does such an animal exist or are we stuck with SoftPC?  If it does exist,
where is it and/or how can I get it?  

   If there are commercial alternatives to SoftPC, I'd be interested in 
investigating them as well.

  
Thanks in advance,
Mark Marino
