Well, its been some time since Ive posted dumb questions to this newsgroup,
so here I go again!:-)

How does one go about doing the standalone boot in the VAX 730? Ive already
done SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT.COM (or whatever) to build the kit on the RL02,
and now I want to boot it. Ive looked at the stuff on the console tape
(at the >>> typed DIR) and didnt see anything really obvious (to me).
Someone once told me that it was B STA, but there is no STABOO.CMD
on the tape... or perhaps my console tape is incomplete?

On a lighter side of things, a while back, someone once mentioned a
PDP-8 mailing list, but of course, I dont have the address. It was
something like pdp8-lovers@...

Thanx:-)
