It says:

VAX-VMS
        Producer: DEC
        Units: 0
        Version: 6.1
        Date: (none)
        Termination Date: 11-AUG-1999
        Availability: 0
        Activity: A (VMS Capacity)
        NO_SHARE

Do I suspect correctly that NO_SHARE equals no-joy?

Yes, sort of a 'rock and a hard spot' kind of thing. I have been reading
with interest of Wolfgang Moeller's patches to make the VS2000's SCSI more
conformant to standards. But even here is the problem - how to get it
there. I installed a 1.2mb floppy (RX33), but one needs to get data on
the floppy to be of value. Sigh!!!
