I'm hoping I'll be able to use EasyCD Creator to do bit by bit backups of
some of the CDs so I'll let you know how I get on, assuming my burner is
behaving itself - it has a habit of going offline and the only thing that
brings it back is a power cycle which takes bloody ages on this machine
since it's all UltraSCSI. Having said that it doesn't take as long as a
Compaq Proliant ML370 :)
OT: What is the VXT Host Software(VAX)? Something
to allow loading a VXT
from a VAX instead of from an Infoserver?
Yep. You needed a VXT with a minimum of 10mb RAM from what I remember,
which
is why I never played with it as all our VXTs had 4mb.
I wish I'd saved
more
of them now but I only had room for 1 :(
You have a fine collection of goodies there!
Thank my ex-ex-company for binning the whole lot when it suddenly became
'legacy' and they started chasing the M$oft dangling carrot!
cheers

I've used Nero to make backup copies of my "DEC" CDRoms and it has worked
extremely well. I am using a QUE 24x10x40 ATAPI drive on a PIII clone PC
running Windows XP pro and I haven't made a coaster yet. Nero has the
reputation of not being easy to use, but making a copy of one of these
CDRom's couldn't be much easier. My Nero version is 5.5.9.17.
For other jobs, especially dealing with music, I prefer Easy CD Creator,
which I also have.
If you want some assistance in burning a limited number of these CD's, I am
available.
