The system boots the CD and I then checks the disk and then initializes the disk and copies the OS from A the CD to the disk. The unit then gets set to boot from the disk.   I If you had the original CD you could probably duplicate it, possibly even $ make an ISO 9660 copy to distribute.  J A backup /foreign will probably work as I do not believe (old memory) thatL the disk was even remotely files-11 compatible. It was, from what I rememberG custom, as you created partitions for the data you wanted to serve. The J partitions were made by specifying a size, the data was interpreted by theJ client application accessing the Infoserver, that being DOS, VMS, Mac, and others.\         --  = Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2006.408 ************************
