Yeah, that went really smoothly. Btw, I've got a spare hardware raid controller I bought off ebay for some random reason.  

I'd be willing to trade it for say a SCSI drive with a SCA connector..

No sorry, didn't realise I needed any licenses for those. I run KZPACs

Evidently DEC used the same device designation for more than one device type.
So DRxx are both hardware and software RAID devices (and I suspect they were
also some very old device designation back when disks were removable).

Obviously the harware feature doesn't need any PAK, but the software one...

P.S.: Did you succeed in installing I64 OpenVMS via InfoServer?
