If you can't get help at the VCF - MW (which I don't doubt), and your
MicroVAx II has a DELQA or DEQNA network adapter, then I know of two other
elegant ways to back up the data from your ESDI disk:
Either: configure your MicroVAX II into a Local Area VAXcluster using the
instruction in
https://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing,_Configuring,_and_Testing_A_VMS_V4.7_Lo…
or: follow the blog at

and

Don't hesitate to ask for help; the first alternative is my work, and I
worked a little on the second one.

P.S.
I own a QD21 (but no working ESDI drive), but I will not attend the VCF -
MW, because I live in Germany ...

I will be going to the VCF - MW. Does anybody have
an
Emulex QD21 that could dump a hard drive for me? I ran a
uVAX II at home of 21 years. Sometime back about 2000 or
so, I upgraded to a cast-off SCSI disk, which eventually
died. I didn't have a convenient backup solution for the
SCSI disk, so the old 600 MB ESDI drive is kind of my most
recent backup. I have a copy of VMS 4.7 on that.
It would be great if somebody could recover what is on that
drive. If I were to set up the uVAX II here, I would not
have a very good way to get the data off the drive except
the serial port - that might take a WHILE!
thanks,
