A few days ago, I undertook to install a Maxtor XT2190 (that had
previously been used in a PC running DOS) in my VAXStation 2000. I
brought up T 70 and, to my relief and joy, it scanned the disk and
declared it an RD54! The relief came since I was not at all sure that
I could come up with all of the data that T 70 requires when it goes
into query mode. Is there a program that can extract that data from a
'real' RD54?
At any rate, the format proceeded smoothly and with the help of
Standalone Backup I loaded VMS 5.5 and the Mandatory Update on to the
drive. I want to bring VMS up to v5.5.2, but do not know whether I
need load both v5.5.1 and then v5.5.2 or whether just v5.5.2 is enough.
I presume that this is done as an Update using VMSINSTAL. Correct?
