2. Nero and imgBurn wont read the image file.
3. What s needed is a Burner program tha will run
on a Windows 2000 system and prduce a VMS bootable CD.
4. Suggection for a ROM burning program that:
a) Will run under Windows 2000
b) Produce a cd that is Bootable on a VAX
4000/200 or 300.

I'm pretty sure Nero can, though it's been several years since I've
done anything with it, and I normally use Toast. I've yet to find
anything I want to do that Nero can't (other than Mac CD's).
You don't want to *read* the file, you want to burn it to the CD.
The trick is determining the correct incantation.

I'm sure I used Nero when I did this. I'm also sure that if
ImgBurn ("Image Burn") cannot do it then it should be renamed :-)
I think the sequence with Nero is something like:
Start->Programs->wherever Nero Burning ROM lives
Cancel the initial screen that helps you determine
whether you are burning a CD or DVD or whatever
Recorder->Burn Image
Select "All Files" (make sure yours is called .img or .bin)
On the "Foreign Image Settings" leave it as "Data Mode 1" and
tick "Raw Data"
Try a CD-RW until you find the right incantation.
I would download one of the Freeware CDs from the HP VMS website
and try that image, so at least you know you have a good ODS-2
image at the start.
An RRD42 will not (IIRC) cope with a CD-RW ... so you may need
to use the Yamaha to start with (assuming it will).

Use cdrecord.
There's a cdrecord that runs inside of cygwin on windows...

(None of that GUI crap or trademark Windows "helpfulness" to get int the
way).
