Is it usable as an LD device under VMS?

Just confirmed that the ISO is unreadable in Charon vax. Hmmm. Will try different hardware for the rip...

Gentlemen,

I tried a different approach to ripping, using cdrdao to get a raw image and track layout, just in case there were multiple tracks (which the ISO format doesn't support).   I've only tested disc 1 so far, but I confirmed that I got the same size binary as I got using dd, with the same SHA checksum, and the track list confirms a single track.

dd with bs=512 and bs=2048 gives me the same binary also.

Can anyone else confirm or deny that disc 1 (AG-RVYRR-BE) works or doesn't work?

Jordi,

Thanks for the report. Not sure what went wrong. I quickly ripped them and put them up but didn't test them.   I'll put them in some real DEC hardware today and see what's going on.

This isn't something wonky like you have to dd them at bs=512 or something is it?
