The 780 family has a dedicated PDP-11 with RX floppy drives that runs as the 'front end' for it and boots it. The PDP-11 run an small OS RSX-11/S (I think - but man those bit in my brain are long lost) and can reach in the SMI to load the OS image into memory from the disk and then points the system at it. The 750 and 730 have boot roms for he VAX itself that know how to talk to the peripherals such as the TU58 .<br class=""></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hello,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve uploaded a RL02 image of a bootable VMS 4.7 Standalone backup.
