Hi,
I don't suppose anyone has a 5/25" CD-ROM Storage Building Block (with or without CD ROM drive) for a BA36x storage array? They are the one that mounts across 3 bays and occupies 1 or 2 IDS on the bus.
I am looking for one that will work in a BA365 (late top-gun blue coloured) array. Colour matching isn't a concern as long as it works.
Thanks.

There were hundreds of them and I wasn't able to capture them, as I was on a VGA screen + actual keyboard.
It was some weird file formatting error with how the CD was burned.

Oh well, got it going in the end - won't let the damn things expire again so that reloading them is easier.
BTW, does someone have a license database pruner that'll kill expired licenses?

Basically, I burnt the licenses as .COM files onto a CDROM, and mounted them
on the VMS box as follows:
MOUNT DQB1: /MEDIA=CDROM/OVER=ID/UNDEF=(STREAM_LF:132)
When I try to run the COM file, I get loads of weird DCL errors, it's clearly not parsing the file right.
This should not be this difficult.
If the files were created on windows which tends to like CRLF delimited files,
maybe something like:
$ MOUNT DQB1: /MEDIA=CDROM/OVER=ID/UNDEF=(STREAM:132)
would work better?
If this is not the case, more information about the way the files were created
and what the weird DCL errors were would be helpful.

Well, after all that, I'm happy to announce that RHESUS and CHIMPY are back online.
RHESUS has a fairly large file library available, including a whole bunch of SPDs..

I manually typed in enough licenses to get DECNET going and pasted in the file via CTERM :)

The license utiility can build com files for you:

Omit the /procedure qualifier and all you get is the data as printed on the PAK.
