The fact that the floppy (DUA2) did not show up in 'show dev' is what my
little monologue was all about, Allison. You likely saw my other two
messages after sending this response, where I found that it was the MIN
startup that caused the problem. Without the MIN, all was as I had
expected.
A really slow link here makes for lousy readying of multiple messages.
Yes, booting and running in "min" mode negates a lot of devices as it's a
minimal mode, obviously. You can add devices from Configure interactively
as well. VMS can do a lot of things that are impossble under winnt/win9x
without reboot but you may not find out how easily. Sysmanagement course
at DEC was over a week of class... there is a reason for that. ;)
