2. When doing
a show dev on a VS3100/40, the cdrom drive should show
up on the device list, right? (I suspect I goofed up the wiring on the
CDROM case)
Is the CD-ROM turned on? I won't say how long it took me to figure out
that the external CD I put on my new DEC 3000/300LX last night started out
turned on so I was actually turning it off. <grrr> 3. can someone answer conclusively for me whether
the vaxstation expects
the disk to have parity enabled? The lists I've read don't seem very
sure.
Not quite sure what you mean here. It expects 512k blocks, if you want to
boot off the install CD. However, I believe it will read CD's in standard
drives once the system is up and running. Why bother unless you're short on memory. You can
get UCX as part of the
Hobbyist program, and apparently two more TCP stacks will be available on
the Hobbyist program around the middle of this month (sorry can't remember
which ones). On the other hand this assumes you can put your hands on the
media somehow.
Therein lies the problem. I can ftp CMU down and (if VMS knows about ISO9660
out of the can) hopefully install it from a home-made cdrom.
