OpenVMS Alpha V7.3

[Sean Caron]

I'm using a genuine DEC RRD45 so no sector size issue and it's worked fine
with burned CDs in the past to load my VAX machines ... I've never had too
much trouble with burns ... I think I just got a funky image from HP ...
other people have reported issues with it ... I could see the RRD45 getting
hung up more on it being a "700 MB CD" rather than it being a burn ... but
the RRD45 is the newest drive I've got.

Best,

Sean
