Ok, are this those cougar* files that I have here?

VS4000.doc      cougar.sys      cougar_dsk.sys  cougar_v1_4.zip readme.txt

Unfortunately the readme.txt contains a link that's gone long time ago:

"The KA49 CPU was used in the VAXstation 4000 model 90, 90A, and 96.
General instructions for using the "cougar" files is in Blitz TD# 1620,
which is at:
   http://prosic.cxo.dec.com/PUBS/BLITZES/TD001620.HTML
readme.txt (END)"

Think I have a /90 not a /90A... are the files correct for this?
Are there different Versions?

Regards,

Holm
