To be honest - nope. It needed a driver. The 1011 only had 8-inchers, so I started with those and has never got around to support 5-and-quarter. I still have a boot loader source for the 8-inch floppy:

This reminds me... The firmware loaded first 128 bytes. RT-11 boot block was 256 bytes long. First 128 loaded next 128 like an overlay, and the real work was done there. For MISS I wrote a 128 byte bootstrap, just because I thought it would be cool (also MISS puts a volume label into the second block).

First we create problems and then exhibit inhumane inventiveness to solve them.
