VMS DUMP the first block. You should see the BACKUP command in the ASCII
translation. If there's a /BLOCK listed, use that value; otherwise, there
are defaults as you have discovered.
Didn't even need to DUMP it. VMSINSTAL didn't complain.
Don't feel bad, I've been dealing with this for 20 years when trying to get
VMS crash dump files from customers sent to me in tact via the internet. ;)
I'm impressed I figured out that LRL was the value I wanted. ;)
Luck. ;)
Yup. ;)
Next battle: anything graphical logs this:

Heh...don't knock those RD54s. Several years ago, when I was still
starving in the "zero-work zone" (SW Florida) someone *gave* me about
twenty of those drives. Selling all but three of them on eBay paid my
mortgage for almost a year!
Had I known then what they'd be worth today, I'd have stockpiled thousands.

You'd need the expansion plate, I believe, because it provided the interface
to the external disk and the rudimentary SCSI for the TK50Z.
Ahh.
Now...I'm confused as hell here.
I have SYS$STARTUP:DECW$STARTUP running...and I have a mouse cursor on the
VR290...but I'm not getting a DECwindows LOGINOUT prompt. Is it memory
related?
