- I doubt that this is possible today. The problem is that the Vax OLD CDs are
- in Files-11 format which the Sun probably can't read. I've got a similar
- problem in that I can't mount the Ultrix OLDs and read them on the Vax.

- Rumours are that Digital will be releasing the Ultrix OLDs in ISO format. If
- we're lucky and they do that with the VAX OLD, you'll be in business.
