Subject: Imaging and Emulating Rainbow
I have a Rainbow 100+ with a working hard disk. I want to image the disk
before it fails and then emulate the Rainbow. The disk is an RD51 and
appears to have 4 partitions on it.
For imaging my first thought is to put the disk into a MicroVAX II, net
boot the
MicroVAX into VMS and do a BACKUP/PHYSICAL,
copying the image to a
SIMH tap file. There shouldn't be any issues with this I assume?
Oh dear. VMS would not let me MOUNT/FOREIGN, it said:
%MOUNT-F-FORMAT, invalid media format
So I couldn't mount it to do the BACKUP/PHYSICAL.
What options do I have to image this disk?
Regards
Rob
