version if I do get it though. Has anyone tried
installing OpenVMS by
copying parts of it, from a CD on another (non DEC) machine via a
network connection, to an unused disk on the VAX?
I've not done that, but I have copied a 7.2 VAX CD via DECnet from an Alpha
to a slightly functional MicroVAX III's RA72, then booted off the RA72 and
installed 7.2 on another RA72.
If the VAX is SCSI, you *might* be able to just 'dd' the CD to a HD on a
Unix box.
