Incorrect, if it was booting the CD, the banner would show VMS 6.0<br>not VMS 4.2, so it's definitely reading the DSK<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><div>
Just some thoughts that fly by in reading you post:<br>
From the mailed .INI-file, the commands set up rq0 as a CD with an
attached .ISO-file.<br>
Then you try to boot from this "CD".<br>
<br>
Q1: Should the 780-emulator be able to recognize a CD as a device? -
In those days the TU58 was "the media" for console works...<br>
Q2: If this booting is proper after all, and the file you have
attached to the rq0 is the boot-disc you intend to use, should it
really be attached to a "read-only" device like a CD, not to a disc?
- I know later systems can boot from a CD, but doesn't that require
booting a system image that is tailored to this task - i.e. that
doesn't require any dump-files or similar?<br>
<br>
(You say that the emulator reads your .DSK properly, but to my eyes
does it only read the file vms6_0.iso, ie the CD-immage).<br>
<br>
All my best anyhow - every effort to maintain this generation of
systems indicates a great spirit!<br>
