I guess you are correct Dave, but may be every serious collector
should have experienced that job once :-) Besides, if the installation
takes an afternoon, there are always plenty of other little things to do.
Like reading about classic stuff ...

when you have made images, I would love to
download them.
I can test the images. I have a stack of RX50 floppies waiting to
be written with something useful. And I would love to "endure"
what other people did some 20 years ago. It seems fun to install
microVMS on my uVAX II or uVAX III, and a nice activity to do
during the Holidays indeed :-)
I can tell you Henk, having done it 20 years ago, there's absolutely
nothing fun about installing MicroVMS from floppies.
Installing it from other media, yes, but not from floppies. ;)
(that said, I'd not mind a copy myself!)
