1) You're right, the UC07 does not write any parameters to block 0.  It d=
oes=20
work with CDROM's as well as SCSI HDDs.

In OpenVMS the SCSI drives "look like" DSSI drives.  (That's why I can us=
e a=20
KZQSA with the same physical HDD and/or CDROM and both work the same - ex=
cept=20
that they appear to OpenVMS as SCSI (KZQSA) and alternatively DSSI (UC07)=
=2E =20
Kinda cool, huh? :-)

2) Yup, once I booted the CDROM from the KZQSA I was going to use a SCSI =
HDD=20
attached to the same KZQSA.  Of course, if the KZQSA is not supported, th=
at's=20
not a great thought...

Cheers,
