Are you sure it's the disks? I have VMS 5.5-2 and it would not install on
my /90 at all. I don't remember now how it behaved, but it definitely did
not work. Since I was using real RZ25s and an RRD46, there's no way it
could've been due to third-party drives.

Either Megan or Allison told me that 5.5-4 was the minimum for a /90. I
ended up having to get my hands on 7.1 media, which worked just fine.

Good luck.

ok
