The Stanford V-system server only implements block reading from a shared readonly file system. It can't be used in its current state to give a workstation a private read/write disk on a VAX. I'm pretty sure that somebody implemented the ND protocol, but required a Sun source license because they wrote it by disassembling the Sun source. I still don't think it would be that hard to reverse- engineer it from the nd(4) manual page and a dump of some Ether transactions. You can probably find out who did the source-restricted version by mailing to sun-spots@rice.arpa. - Mike
