[HECnet] Boot VAX from Alpha host Infoserver?

[Steve Davidson]

I have two of the 6-stack units (624x).   They work GREAT!   Some of the
VAXen see all 6 drives, some do not.

The VAXcluster boot member for the STARS2 cluster has one on it right
now (serverd to the whole cluster).

Oh, the NEC Multispin 4x may just work.   I use these.   You will have to
set one of the dip switches that changes it from 2048 bytes to 512
bytes.   A search on the web should be able to give you the correct
switch.

I love the old NEC Mulitspin's, I have an 8x caddy drive in my 
PDP-11.   They're the only non-DEC drives I've been able to find that 
works with some of my older DEC gear.
