Did you have any luck finding a copy of WWENG2.SYS ?
I have a copy of WWENG1.SYS from an OpenVMS SPL. No idea if that
version is of any use to you.
From what shows up on the net when you search for
WWENG2.SYS it looks
like that was distributed through a different channel, the
DECserver
Network Access Software Distribution, and that is more difficult to
find.
Here's the SPD for DECserver Network Access Software Version 2.2
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/info/SP4613/SP4613PF.PDF
Some old CD-ROM you might try to find by part number are:
QA-0LWAJ-H8
QB-0LWAA-WA
You could buy an official copy of the Digital Networks KT-DNAS3-00 kit
for only $400:

Does anyone know how to extract one of these from the flash card?
I've got a 900TM booting from flash with version 2.4 WWENG2.SYS on
the card, but I can't figure out how to copy it off the card for
another 900TM.
I obtained a second 900TM that didn't have a card included. I won
a "Mitsubishi Melcard 2MB F?E?PROM MEMORY Card MF82M1-77DAT01" on e-bay,
which is identical to what DEC provided, and successfully booted and loaded
wweng2.sys version 2.2, which I believe is the 1646592 byte version supervinx
also has.
My 900TM with 2.4 works better than the other one booting 2.2. If anyone has
any info on reading WWENG2.SYS 2.4 off my working unit, please let me know.

I found some discussion of card compatibility here:
http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.vms/2004-10/1901.html
You should be able to hit CTRL-B a couple times on the first serial
port during power up to get to a ">>>" prompt, then do something
like this:

I had some trouble getting to the ">>>" prompt successfully, but
once there, had no trouble netbooting and updating the flash.

I have the other card version mentioned in the comp.os.vms article - The Mitsubishi
MELCARD MF82M1-GBDAT01 and I can say it also works in the DECserver 900TM. There are a
few on the US Ebay site right now.
<http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=MITSUBISHI+2MB+CARD>
As far as I know, the only way to get the data flashed to the card is to get the DECserver
to boot online first, then run the previously mentioned command to flash the memory.
Also, there is no way that I know of to copy the data from the card to a file via the
DECserver. I assume you would have to have a PCMIA slot on a computer and use that to
read the card.
