Summary: Help me find DYDRIVER.EXE, please


I have been trying to install RX02 floppy drives on my
MicroVax II with little luck.  The EXCHANGE program
claims that it will take RT-11 files from RX02 floppies
and turn them into VMS files.  Since we have a large
group of RX02 floppies (and a spare RX02 drive with DMA
Q-bus controller) I thought I would use my MicroVax II
to make these files continually accessible.  Intalling
the hardware seemed to work fine.  Unfortunately, when
running AUTOCONFIGURE in SYSGEN I got the message that
the system can't find the DYDRIVER.EXE file.

Indeed, I can't find the DYDRIVER.EXE file anyplace
on our system and AUTOCONFIGURE apparently needs this
to set up the device.  Does its absence mean I can't
use RX02 floppies on a MicroVax?  Or does MicroVMS 4.4
not support the DYDRIVER?  Or is it possible to get
the DYDRIVER from some other source?  I would appreciate
any help you can give me with this problem.
