The DS500 is a PDP-11, true. But it's also the model that don't have any local
storage, and thus uses MOP in way more ways than any other DS, which might be a
problem unless you have some machine with a proper MOP implementation.
The MOP server that exists for Unix systems will not do. It only supports
booting.
What else do you need? MOP doesn't do much more than that. Config data
download?
Actually, it does. MOP can do reading and writing of data to files as well.
Not really. There's a load protocol and a dump protocol. Load can reference
the load image by ID string if enabled, but that doesn't make it a general file
access protocol.
I agree that I would not call it a generic file access protocol. But
still, this is how the DS500 load and store the configuration.
