If these are the commands as used verbatim, then it is looking for
a *file* by the name of DD0. You need to specify the device name,
so use 'DD0:'. (I'm surprised it didn't report the name of the file
it didn't find.) So, the command should be:
COPY/SYS DD0: DD1:
Thanks Megan, I'll pass this along.
Doing this, however, will not result in an optimized
tape... it may
actually take a relatively long time to boot. I actually got a
TU58-based system to boot in as little as 30 seconds by judicious
placement of the system files. If you (or other people) are
interested, I could write it up...
The company who asked the question are still using a VT103 to control
one of their machines. I imagine they'll be happy if the copy works at
all! (First rule of optimisation: "Don't").
