I am pretty sure I remember a Netscape build for VMS long ago ... but I
can't say for sure. I may have just been running on a UNIX machine with
remote X to the VAX ... I don't recall. All my VMS systems run just in text

Yes, I found my DEC 3000 was very, very finicky about the CD-ROM drive as
well ... fortunately persistence prevailed on my 3000/400 :O My experience

The problem is its verry fussy about the CD drive you use.
Borrowing a nearly new genuine DEC RRD drive fr
I don’t have access to the same resources I used to, but a bell ringing in my
head says that V8.3 might have been supported on the 3000/400 as an upgrade but

Hello Peter
Looks like I trod the same path as you.
I cleaned the CD with a microfibre cloth. No Joy.
I tried every scsi CD drive I have. After setting the jumpers of course.
Theres a couple more in the store I'll clean them up and give them a try.
