Ok, I'll have to start searching and see what I can come up with.
BTW, didn't someone say that I couldn't format the RD54s on
here? Or maybe my mind is slipping. What other issue such as
this might I encounter with the different setups?


mostly correct. if you need to format a RD54 or a RD54 like drive
you need either software that is hard to find or a far cheaper solution
another small( 0.5cuFt) Microvax2000. Those can be found for
near nothing to free if there is no disks installed and the firmware
can format disks. FYI if it has 8mb or more of ram it will run VMS
very nicely using a smaller disk for swaping and the eithernet
for remote boot and system.
