What version were you trying to load? With that high I'm guessing OpenVMS 7.3?
Since Ian mentioned that he's using an ESDI drive, how hard is it to
find something in the 200-500MB range these days? It has been 8+
years since I last looked for ESDI drives and around here it wasn't
easy, but I know other areas differ.

Well, Sridhar and I spent yesterday doing some
tinkering - I brought over my MicroVax II and we
attempted to load VMS onto it. Easier said than done.
I found out that the minimum requirement was 209MB.
BTW, glad you got home ok.
Peace... Sridhar
