Unless you can boot a system from the Danford cartridge tape,
I'd say he is correct. You need at least one machine which has
a floppy or cartridge tape that you can boot from in order to
do the initial SR10 installation. However ... I have heard tell
of Apollo field service personel who have a complete DN3500 in
a suitcase (disk drive and all) -- they simply bring it into you
computer room, hook it to your network, and they have a complete
system which is known to working correctly and that has a clean
copy of the OS (in case all of yours got trashed). If this is
true, they good bring a working SR10 machine into your site and
load up one of your disks over the network.
