Progress on getting the MVII up and running:
I ordered the SCSI2SD adapter and it has come in, the plan is to use it as the system
disk on the MVII.
The hobbyist VMS PAKS have arrived and I was able to download the VMS 7.3 iso, not sure
what I can do with it since I think it must be burned to a 512 byte sector CD.
Burn it to a CD. Shouldn't be anything complex here.
I asked if the PAKS were good for older versions of VMS, like 5.5, and was told yes they
were. We'll see about that.
The Hobbyist VMS CD I had for VMS 7.2 was found and I was able to get the old Toshiba CD
drive to work on the MV 4000 using a CQD 223A. How can I create an image of these
CD's on the VAX 4000 that I could use in an emulator?
I wasn't able to get the UC07 to see the CDROM because of a bad SCSI cable, I had
hoped to format the SCSI2SD using the UC07
Keep in mind that the SCSI2SD can pretend to be a CD-ROM, and can emulate up to 4 SCSI
devices at one go. No need to futz with a real drive if you don't want to...

Is it possible to use the SCSI2SD on a microPDP-11 under RT-11? I ask because of the disk
size limit under RT-11.
