Right, but I would need a way to get the image onto a SCSI disk and I don't think I
have anything that will do it as I don't think I have another machine that will take
the disks. I have a SCSI DVD drive on its way, hopefully that will work.
Regards
Rob

Actually you do have a 3rd way. Image the installation cd (or dvd) on an hd, and
boot from that to install

Oggetto: RE: What DVD Drive for an Itanium RX2620
Sadly, the drive I ordered from eBay has the wrong connector, so it won't work
for me. Unfortunately, I can't find any in the UK that match the exact part
numbers in the User Service Guide.
Is there anyone in the UK who has one of the following that they would be
willing to part with?

AB616-62001

Alternatively I will look for a SCSI DVD drive I can connect to my InfoServer, as
that seems to be another way to install VMS onto the machine.

That DVD drive looks an awful lot like the CDROM/DVD drives used on
the little HP Vectra E-PCs also. Perhaps another source.
