I am getting real close to giving up on this.
I just decided to take a look at the contents of the
images provided in Freeware 8.0 Infoserver.
3 of them are MSDOS floppy images.
4 of them have the statement "IS_KEY_DISK" in the beginning of the
img.
And that leaves two.
VTX Software V2.1
InfoServer/VMS
ag-pjjhh-be.img
InfoServer/VMS V3.5
ag-r7lfa-bs.img
Both of these have statements in the beginning of the image as well.
VXT021 is not a system disk
IS_V35 is not a system disk
Is it just me or wold this mean none of them are bootable. And, if
that is the case, how does one do an initial load of an Infoserver?
There are other anomalies. Like the readme says VTX Software V2.1
but the disklabel is VXT021. Is there no one here who ever created
an Infoserver 150 from scratch? Did they always come from DEC with
all the software loaded and could only be reloaded by a Service Tech
from DEC? Are there no Service Techs here to answer this question?
