Wolfgang Moeller produced some patches way back when for the
uVAX/VS 2000 that would allow it to use a SCSI disk.
...and boot from it, too, if you patch the PROMs to look
for the driver at boot time. I did and can
boot from a 3.5" SCSI disk that I put inside the vs2000.
Be aware, though, that the complete fix includes
patching the PROMs, copying the pk2kdrvr to the disk
and finally patching some programs so that they
work correctly with the package; these include
configure, dump, staconfig, standconf, sysgen;
the patches exist for 5.5-2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.1 and 7.2
only. The patches are needed to limit the
data transfer size to 16kb, the max supported by the
driver.
