That can happen if the drive is set to the same SCSI ID as the
initiator (controller).
Changed the initiator ID to 7. Booting now. From here I will get
TCP/IP running if I can, and then ftp the VMS .IMG over and write it to
the Quantum disk (hopefully). From there I will boot from the quantum
disk and do an isntall on to the 4G disk turning the Quantum drive in to
user directories.
Sounds good. Good luck.
Thanks!
Will I want to write the image directly to the Quantum disk, or mount
the image and copy the files off?
Write it directly.

I used MicroEMACS when I did a lot of DOS development in the 1980s. I
also ran it for awhile (until I got GNU Emacs built) on a 3B1.
I remember running MicroEMACS on my Amiga 500! Awesome editor :)

other than VMS. The current VMS install albeit touchy would work for
that.
You don't have a random Linux box there with a SCSI interface?
What about the Netra T1-105? That'd do it.
It doesn't have the correct SCSI interface...I don't have any adapters
to toss in SCA drives.
Ahh, screwed by The Connector Conspiracy. :-(

Yup. Same damn protocol, different interfaces.
That is what adapters are made for...
Johnny
Adapters only help if you have 'em. ;)

I used MicroEMACS when I did a lot of DOS development in the 1980s. I
also ran it for awhile (until I got GNU Emacs built) on a 3B1.
Then I ran across an amazingly nice emacs implementation called
"Freemacs". It's DOS-only, written in assembler, but like GNU Emacs, it
is just an editor core plus primitives, with higher-level functions
written in an interpreted language. Freemacs' language is called
"Mint", and it's sorta Lisp-like, but not really Lisp. (one could say
that GNU Emacs' elisp isn't really Lisp either, but..)
If you do anything DOS-related at all, and are an emacs person, I
recommend Freemacs wholeheartedly. It really is very, very nice.
