I have found such CD-ROM drives to be both
plentiful and cheap at
local second-hand stores. Since they won't work with a
PC, they have
'no' value....
There are many many PC-compatible CD-ROMs that also talk 512-byte
sectors. There might be some in your/his pile already.
I have installed the core of VMS and booted from
a small-ish drive,
but you rapidly run out of space. -- Ian
Is it possible to boot VMS in a small partition in the beginning of a
disk and have another partition elsewhere? I've never had cause to try
this, since I have a giant pile of 500-1000MB disks lying around.
Peace... Sridhar
