Hi all, I'm looking for ISO images of the DEC ServerWorks discs, especially the Quick Launch CD, to reinstall my Digital Prioris LX 5200 server. Does anyone have a copy or know where to find one? I searched the Internet Archive but to no avail. Thank you in advance!

I think I saw a sealed boxed set of DEC ServerWorks discs at a swap meet recently. I've reached out to the person who I think was the seller to see if they can find them. I had no idea what I was really looking at though so I could be mistaken about what I saw, and I seem to recall the box had next to no information about what was inside, so even if I'm right, if those discs weren't universal, then I suppose what I saw might not be the version you need, or for your particular server.

Thanks a lot! I very much appreciate your effort! I think the same discs were shared between different models, although I'm not entirely sure. It's hard to figure out with none of the software available anywhere online. I think that as long as the architecture is the same (x86), there's a big chance it should work.

Hello, I just wanted to check if you've had any luck reaching out? Thank you!

I spoke to them about a month ago and they said they'd have a look for it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to chat to them again in about another month. They didn't mention throwing out any of the stuff that didn't sell at the swap meet, so hopefully that means they still have it, it's just gone back into boxes of unsorted junk 😁
