I have an optical disk which was written by a VMS system on a
MicroVAX. So far I have been unable to read on a 600MB optical system
and a 1.2GB optical system.
It is a Pioneer DEC-702 disk. By sliding aside the cover it looks to
me as if the sectors are physically as wide as my 512-bye/sector 300MB/side
MB disks (such as Verbatin VBR5B2) but for certain when I placed the
optical in the drive attached to my Alpha running DU 3.2 and tried
something like
unix# dd if=/dev/rrz9c of=foo
the result was:
/dev/rrz9c: no such device or address
Tring to do the same on a colleague's Alpha running OpenVMS on a 1.2GB
system also failed, but I'm fairly certain its not a 1.2GB disk.
TIA
