>From my experience with Acorn RISC OS and classic MacOS machines and CDs, I found that though they can mount and read standard CD images formats, for booting and installing, they tended to need media formatted with those OSes' own filesystems. I think VMS is the same. So there might well be an ISO image for stuff you might need on other machines, and the rest in some DG/UX filesystem -- I have never seen it so I have no idea what. AO/VS II? UFS or some variant thereof? In the spirit of blind fumbling I might just try loopback-mounting the images on a modern-ish Linux and see if it can autodetect the FS. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
