I ftp'd the ISO files from HP for the Alpha VMS V8.4 kit to my Apple
iMac G5 in binary mode and then burned the 3 ISO images to 3 separate
CDs with no problem.
Of course this was on a Macintosh with a Superdrive. The first image
CD (ALPHA084) boots just great on my Alphaserver DS20. The other 2 CDs
also mounted easily.
All 3 of course are ODS-2 format.
