I recently rescued two Microvax-2000s but both have dead RD53s.? Does anyone have a
ROMable image of the Microvax 2000/Vaxstation 2000 boot-PROM patches from Wolfgang Moeller
at?http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/vms/pk2k/??? ?I'm looking to install NetBSD, not VMS and I
don't have any VMS systems on which to run PATCH.? ?Microvax 2000 specs say it can
sustain 3.3MB/s I/O, which has to be via the SCSI interface.? So a SCSI emulator should be
significantly higher performance than an MFM drive (either 30+ year old drive, or
emulator).
Web-searching shows a Sean O'Banion has burned the PROMs successfully; I haven't
yet found other names.
If someone is willing to burn at least one set of EPROMs for me, I'd pay for the
service (either ship EPROMS, or pay for them).
