(The only load media on this big-iron VAX is a TZ887 tape library so I'm
going to install VMS onto the boot disk by plugging it into a VAX 3100-90
with a BA350 storage shelf then all I have to do is put that disk into the
6660's HSJ50-powered storage array and boot it......try doing THAT on any
other OS :oD VMS is VMS is VMS.....)
A
I've done that for years using RD54s and then SCSI disks, easiest way to do
a VMS install for 20 systems. Do it once then clone the drive, doent matter
what the system varient was so long as it can interface to the drive.
Beat the tar or hackup out of using TK50.
