DG/UX install media

[alan at alanlee.org]

I've tried loop mounting with no success.  Is there a software tool 
(Linux or Windows) that will burn a non-ISO image to a CD?  Most 
expect/assume ISO-9660.

I don't have a keyboard or proper SCSI cable yet for my Aviion, so I 
can't try booting anything.  I supposed I could just point a SCSI2SD 
emulator at those files and see what happens.

Thanks,

-Alan
