Any alternate ideas?   I'm leaning towards the first.   Are the SIMH RA81
disk images anything special or can I shove one directly on a drive on
an MSCP-emulating SCSI controller?

Yes, this works; I've done it many times with several DEC OSs,
targeting both DEC drives and DEC-drive-emulating SCSI and ESDI drives.

I'll go find a system that'll let me copy an image to a SCSI drive
with an IDC connector, then. Sweet.


Bah!   I have an RZ25 and the image is 435M.   35M short. :(

35M short?   For what?


The RZ25 didn't have the disk to copy the image I had ready.

Thankfully...it failed (apparently something went short as it being plugged in makes the VAX /fail to power on/) so I can use my 526M drive!
