Thanks to a friend around the corner, booting DKA0 now gives me
AXP/VMS 6.1, and, as before, booting DKC0 gives me Digital Unix 3.2.
Now all I need is for the same benefactor to dig out his layered
products CDs for AXP and I'm set!
One problem... we tried to put a CD-R of the AXP/VMS 6.1 disc into
the RRD42 and it didn't like it. Has anyone else had any experience
with DEC CD-ROM drives and burned media? Do I need to get a different
drive here? Will a Sun-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive work in place
of an RRD42? (in case the 512 byte/2048 byte sector thing is an
issue).
Thanks again for all who helped recently. I'm one step closer on
my journey to bring my VAX experience to the end of the 20th C.

Don't forget to switch the os_type between the two. That makes
sure the proper optimized PALcode is used.

I've used CD-Rs in an RRD42. In fact, some of the OpenVMS
Source Listings CDs are CD-Rs.

You mean VMS experience, don't you?

Sound useful... how is that done?
No... I mean VAX... this is step one - VMS on a box with a CD-ROM.
Step two is to use it to feed my VAX/VMS 6.0 CD-ROMs to a VAX processor
with no CD-ROM, but with Ethernet.

Hmm... maybe I'd better try a different brand of media.

New subject: [CCTECH] Powerbook parts
I know that someone on the list was looking for a floppy
drive for a Powerbook 190/5300/3400. If they still need the drive
and will drop me a note, I've come up with one. Also, if anyone has
any need for an A/C adapter or external floppy with adapter for a Duo
2300, let me know.

I've got a couple of CD-R v7.2 sets, and haven't had a problem booting
from them on my RRD42. But Roxio, on my Spousal
Equivalent's Windows
box, hurled trying to dupe the original. I used dd.
