Are the SIMH RA81 disk images anything special or can I shove one directly on a drive on an MSCP-emulating SCSI controller? Yes, this works; I've done it many times with several DEC OSs, targeting both DEC drives and DEC-drive-emulating SCSI and ESDI drives. I'll go find a system that'll let me copy an image to a SCSI drive with an IDC connector, then. Sweet. Bah! I have an RZ25 and the image is 435M. 35M short. :( 35M short? For what? The RZ25 didn't have the disk to copy the image I had ready. Thankfully...it failed (apparently something went short as it being plugged in makes the VAX /fail to power on/) so I can use my 526M drive! -Dave -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects
