No; assuming you've got files on a Linux filesystem, you use
mkisofs
to create the ISO9660 image file (with Rockbridge extensions).
Then you use
cdrecord
to burn the image onto the CD.
To capture an existing CD-ROM into an image file, most
likely, Chris is correct, but I haven't gone that direction
yet.

'Bout half an ANSI sh*tload which, of course, is smaller than the
Imperial sh*tload. It was, obviously, an ANSI sh*tload to which Slim
Pickins was referring in Blazing Saddles when he said "someone's
gonna have to get a sh*tload of dimes".

Hi all.
I need some advise.
In 3 weeks time Edward and I drive to Italy (some 1100 km)
to pick up several PDP-11/70 parts.
I have the oppertunity to drag 2 RM03 massbus drives and
some packs back home. Now I know already that these drives
weigh about 200 kilo, have a disk capacity of 67 Mb and
are really power-hungry: at 240 V/50 Hz. stand-by is 3.5 A.
running they consume 11.5 A. and rush-in current is 22 A.
My experience is that DEC tend to give high numbers for the
power consumption, but do these drives eat that much current?
Are they worth preserving? Or should I leave them where they are?
Next to the 11/70 is looks great (IMHO) but I would love to hear
some opinions from other collectors.
- Henk.
I see lots of references to these drives...
Do they possess multiple interfaces, or do you get
one that has the interface you need?
I've seen one with an HP-GPIB interface connector
on the back, and was wondering if I pull that rear
cover off, will I find a set of Pertect interface
connectors hiding there? Or is that simply a different
model?
Thanks,

It would be a lot more trouble to get the wire in and out. :) Otherwise
it's an interesting idea.

Let's give the original poster a break, I think he was serious.
John and Chad, just in case you *weren't* being tongue-in-cheek,
that's not the Simon he was talking about...

Dear ClassicComper's.
I've a HP9845b, which run for a long time, but now it's dead.
I think, it's caused by the powersupply, because there are no voltages
to be measured at its testpoints.
Does someony has experiences in reparing this powersupply, or much
better some schematics.
Greetings from Germany

Indeed -- or you could just have some switches, but in order to
actually "program" the thing with a separate device, fuses are the
(probably) easiest way, and the most true to life.

Hello all, I would be extremely grateful if those of you with VAX
11/750s out there could either take pictures or draw diagrams of how the
PSU blocks are connected in this wonderful system.
I have (finally) received my first piece of Big Iron but it has death of
the 2.5v PSU, and all the PSU bricks were removed and handed to me
before I could note their positions.
Also, if any of you have a terminal going spare (vt or hardcopy, either
ist gut) then shout out and we can talk...
