Isnt that one of those machines that need preformatted media ?
Im not very knowlegable about VAX variants but i read about
a certain small vax 2000? prized for its ability to prepare
hard disks (flaw map/disk label) for the larger vaxen that
lacked the ability to do it themselves.
Then there are those tape drives that cannot format their
own media (all to force you to buy media from them)
Perhaps others could name additional hardware with
a intentional built-in dependancy to the OEM.
