   Much easier, in my opinion, just to do it in XXDP.  I have the 
Winchester standalone (zrqch0?) from XXDP modified** to boot from 
VTserver v2.x.  If you want to try that, check out the system 
requirements for VTserver and remind me next week and I'll send you the 
fixed standalone utility.  I've used it on ST225, ST251, RD53 and RD54 
disks.
