I already tried extracting ZSDRIVER.EXE from the DECnet/OSI kit for VAX/VMS 7.3 and placing it in SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES but ZSA0: remained stubbornly offline until I installed the rest of DECnet/OSI and the LES$ACP_V30 process started. I think I have an old CD containing a WANDD kit somewhere but I can't seem to
put a hand on it right now.  I probably put it in a "safe place" :-(


I think messing with the kits isn't likely to produce a working system. You need more than the driver to make everything work.

At the very least LES (Layered Environment Services) has to be available.


These manuals mention the DSV11 and DST32 but there is no reference to the DSH32 anywhere.  The installation guide says the device driver for the DST32
is ZSDRIVER.EXE so this seems to suggest that the DST32 and DSH32 are the
same thing or at least very similar.  Maybe there was a difference of opinion between the hardware people and the software people as to what it should be
called :-)


I've found some notes that suggest that the DST32 and DSH32 both use the same driver (ZSDRIVER, as you've found).

The other "busless" one was the DSW21/DSW41/DSW42.


I can't find a WANDD SPD either locally nor online, but (iirc) V1.2 was Phase IV and certainly ran on V5.5-2.

A bunch of stuff changed radically in V6.0 so if there was a Phase IV release for V6 then it would almost certainly have been post-V1.2.
