I swear I did not make this up:
MISER$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)
%SYSTEM-W-FISH, my hovercraft is full of eels
MISER$ show sys /noproc
OpenVMS V8.3 on node MISER 12-FEB-2015 10:19:47.86 Uptime 70 13:37:37
However, on 7.3:
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)
%SYSTEM-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000B70
$ show sys/noproc
OpenVMS V7.3 on node FRUGAL 12-FEB-2015 10:20:56.80 Uptime 70 11:00:39
Looks like 8.3 is required! ?
P.S. Cory now has his own SC40?? I am sooooo jealous :-)

It looks like you are echoing the characters from the console back to

Yeah...trying to figure out why it's echoing them back. Can't hurt to drag out a VT420
NSP has a "dir" command.

Ahhh. That's based on really old T10 stuff. So it's 576 or 2304 byte
sectors. I guess this is a IBM drive (0666)? If it does not spin up-
hit it on the side.. (You can have a BIG drive or a 3.5 in drive..)
C1247/C2247 or something like that.
Fotnote on the SC40. The "other" SCSI connectors can use 512b sector
disks, the microcode on the chanels will flip things. But it can't
boot from them..
Ahhhh. That makes sense.
Someone else to explain what it takes for Unix or any other OS to read
something other than 512Byte sectors. The SCSI protocol don't care, so
maybe a program reading a block at the time and write it to 512b
blocks and pad the last one?
I just need to get a clean image ASAP in the event the drives fail.
I belive I could mount the file-system and make a T10 backup tape from
T10.
Let me knew if I can be of any help, and don't loose the bits..
