Hey all - We have had soft-launched it on our website calendar a few months
ago but I wanted to confirm that yes on October 16 - 18 2020 the first
annual "Kennett Classic" weekend is scheduled and a GO; venue booked and
implementation is under way.
The centerpiece of the weekend will be a
And if they went that way, it would be quite a big event in the supercomputing
world because HPE now own both of the companies formerly known as SGI and Cray.
Someone on the inside is attempting to explore why this is happening. If I
hear anything, I will report back.

HP sells printers, HPE owns the rights to VMS. These days they’re two
different companies.

The difficulty is that people are looking for a solution that is legal.
Bill - I don't have an IMSAI PCS 80. But perhaps you would find something
close in either a VDP-40 (never turned it on, 5.25" floppies) or a VDP-80. My
VDP-80 got smashed in transit, but the ROMS could still be gone. Let me know

Since HP is killing the Hobbyist program, you all should make a Hobbyist
license key generator.
That solves the issue forever.

One shot in the dark if anyone has the DSP development or interface toolkit for
NI's TMS320C30 Nubus cards. I have a bunch of boards but never found any

4.3 BSD Quasijarus by M.Sokolov should be the last OS for VAXen,
I had it run on a MVII with UC08, a Tandberg SLR5 and some SCSI disk.
Should be still on the disk, have a copy on my webserver
(www.tiffe.de/Robotron) and there is a github repository somewhere
available.

Am I forgetting, but isn't BSD (4.3/4.4 as I recall) on the VAX? That
seems more suitable for running on classic hardware than moving to
something newer.
Of course I got rid of all of my 11/780 and 11/785 systems (along with
a smattering of VAXStations) years ago so I don't have any particular
