I've tried loop mounting with no success. Is there a software tool
(Linux or Windows) that will burn a non-ISO image to a CD? Most
expect/assume ISO-9660.
I don't have a keyboard or proper SCSI cable yet for my Aviion, so I
can't try booting anything. I supposed I could just point a SCSI2SD
emulator at those files and see what happens.
Thanks,

Maybe they are just dumps? In whatever format DG/UX expects
There could be hints on the documentation ISO.
Unfortunately, the files on the documentation ISO is in "WorldView"
format (aka "printerleaf") and a converter (pl2ps) can't be easily
found.
But - iview for Windows (NT) is on the ISO, maybe it will run under
WINE?
From my experience with Acorn RISC OS and classic MacOS machines and
CDs, I found that though they can mount and read standard CD images
formats, for booting and installing, they tended to need media
formatted with those OSes' own filesystems. I think VMS is the same.
So there might well be an ISO image for stuff you might need on other
machines, and the rest in some DG/UX filesystem -- I have never seen
it so I have no idea what. AO/VS II? UFS or some variant thereof?
In the spirit of blind fumbling I might just try loopback-mounting the
images on a modern-ish Linux and see if it can autodetect the FS.
