It's basically the VMS kit that contains the DS200 load software, but it
comes with several useful command procedures too.
Neat! Thanks for the pointer. I've always just gotten the bare images and
dropped them into place...I guess I never stopped to think of how those
images would've gotten installed in the first place.
When I was a VMS sysadmin, we used a few Emulex terminal servers
("Performance 4000" if memory serves) that were really nice...I don't recall
them having to boot from the network, though. I have a few of those here
with dead power supplies. I should send them to Cory. ;)
They did and they had their own kludgy load assist agent for MOP.
The Datability (Vista) Terminal Servers had their software in flash.

Go ahead. ;) I m could use some more systems to replace the power supplies
on! :)
Be careful of what you ask for! B-)
My supply of computer PSUs is running short, I might need to start scrapping
other stuff.
PC power supplies shouldn't be to tough to find...Craigslist, etc?

I must have it. I'll look through the old ConDists here but not today as
today is my grill and grog day. Priorities! :)

I believe it allowed you to configure different software images based on =
MAC address. It seems to have simplified a couple things.
I could be wrong.
Just how many software images would one need for a DECserver-200. I would
have installed the latest and greatest, and disregarded and discarded any
prior versions.

I've got a 48 port cyclades sitting in my flat in London, not even plugged in.
It does everything pretty much, even has a built-in PPP/SLIP server in case you want to run your own ISP.
Alas, it does not talk LAT, just IP.
