Personal Decstation 5000/25 not powering up

An update on the Decstation, I've now got it working with a VGA monitor. Also, last night I managed to get it working on my local LAN. I plugged in the ethernet transceiver to the network port on the back. Transceiver was supplied with the machine. I connected it to my router. I then used #netsetup install, to configure the ip address and gateway, a single restart and it's now networked.

I can now ftp to my Windows machine from the Decstation. I downloaded and installed Mosaic which runs in DecWindows. I can now browse to LAN websites but I haven't been able to set up name servers yet.

I also want to start looking at using the floppy drive with DOS formatted disks. Apparently you can use mtools for this, does anyone have any info on that?
 
No problem! Nice! Gonna dl for the sake of it.
Yes... So far i've seen it only on WinWorld and maybe on Bitsavers... As with OS9 for the XM7, there are no copies around...
