I suspect you're right. The annoying part is that it seems to
work fine with the boot, but once it tries to launch standalone
BACKUP, it just hangs there. I've verified that the CD is OK;
I can attach Simh directly to the disc and it works fine.
Do you turn off sync for your CD drive? It's on my list of
things to check this evening, but it would be nice to know
ahead of time.

Are the firmware images still available somewhere? I want to see
if updated firmware will fix the hang problem I'm having booting
the VMS 7.3 CD (it boots, but hangs while trying to start the
standalone backup; this happens when my Pioneer CD drive is
jumpered for 512 or 2048 byte blocks). I can't seem to find CMD's
site anymore, though I could swear someone linked it around here
not long ago.
Oh, and BTW, I have never had any issues booting the VMS 7.3 CD on
KA630, KA650, KA655, and VAX 4000 CPUs from CMD CQD-220/TM with
Plextor SCSI CD-ROM drives. I doubt it is a CQD-220/TM firmware
issue, but you never know...
