Yes - I have used the same PAK on 5.5 and 7.3.
Yes. It works well with the later versions of RT11 V5.5-5.7. There are DU Handlers
(MSCP) that allow a large disk to be partitioned (in the handler) into multiple drives
I?ve used up to 7 in RT and 20+ in TSX+ drives at the same time. Each drive is still
limited to 32Mb per partition, but you can manage up to 255 partitions (~8GB).

Progress on getting the MVII up and running:
I ordered the SCSI2SD adapter and it has come in, the plan is to use it as the system
disk on the MVII.
The hobbyist VMS PAKS have arrived and I was able to download the VMS 7.3 iso, not sure
what I can do with it since I think it must be burned to a 512 byte sector CD.
Burn it to a CD. Shouldn't be anything complex here.

they were. We'll see about that.
The Hobbyist VMS CD I had for VMS 7.2 was found and I was able to get the old Toshiba CD
drive to work on the MV 4000 using a CQD 223A. How can I create an image of these
CD's on the VAX 4000 that I could use in an emulator?
I wasn't able to get the UC07 to see the CDROM because of a bad SCSI cable, I had
hoped to format the SCSI2SD using the UC07
Keep in mind that the SCSI2SD can pretend to be a CD-ROM, and can emulate up to 4 SCSI
devices at one go. No need to futz with a real drive if you don't want to...

disk size limit under RT-11.?
