Dual-booting my DEC 4000-710 at last!

Thanks to a friend around the corner, booting DKA0 now gives me
AXP/VMS 6.1, and, as before, booting DKC0 gives me Digital Unix 3.2.

Now all I need is for the same benefactor to dig out his layered
products CDs for AXP and I'm set!

One problem... we tried to put a CD-R of the AXP/VMS 6.1 disc into
the RRD42 and it didn't like it. Has anyone else had any experience
with DEC CD-ROM drives and burned media? Do I need to get a different
drive here? Will a Sun-compatible SCSI CD-ROM drive work in place
of an RRD42? (in case the 512 byte/2048 byte sector thing is an
issue).

Thanks again for all who helped recently. I'm one step closer on
my journey to bring my VAX experience to the end of the 20th C.
