Yes, DEC went through this but managed to make a mess of it. Some of it was good; some of it was bad. Things seemed to get looser the more the product lines (the workers, not the suits) grew apart. I always put this down to not being able to yak at the bar or yell over the office walls.

IOW, those drivers are a power up button push. :-)

Somebody I know just blew his disk again. He had everything very carefully backed up onto his USB thingie. Then he discovered it couldn't boot. I don't understand this. All our packs had a boot block as an exclusive disk geometry.

There are times when having all hard-software development under one roof is a feature.

Yup. That would semester three...or should it be earlier?

I know. It's that magic F4 button. I always interpreted it as an FU button, luring me to my disk rest.

I got that. But it seems like the boot disk is still an exception to this rule.

Which is a fancy dump mode I-O list....I buttumed this.

This was our OPSER or OPR on the console step.

Yea, heaven forbid that a mere owner of a PC get to see all this stuff.
