Re: DECmate disks

That’s pretty cool, I’ve never seen anything like that. Is ftp.update.uu.se still online? It at least used to have an archive of PDP-8 stuff, including the DECmate. I’m not sure if it has what you need. I can’t help, my DECmate’s are III’s. Zane > On Oct 16, 2017, at 6:42 PM,

Re: Alphastation 500

Good lucky, I was lucky that mine came with one when I bought it from Compaq. I was not so lucky in that the system lacks enough RAM to run OpenVMS. I’m glad to hear that OpenBSD supports it again. For a while it was running OpenBSD, and acting as my firewall, then they shipped a releases of

Re: DEC Alpha 3000 and OpenVMS 8.4

Thanks, that’s good to know. That means I need to focus on getting my system upgraded to 8.4, rather than fighting with SSH any more. Zane > On Oct 12, 2017, at 11:36 PM, Jason Howe via cctalk > wrote: > > I have 8.4 running on a DEC 3000 as well. SSH works fine

Re: DEC Alpha 3000 and OpenVMS 8.4

The system can actually run stock 8.4? I believe that at least the latest 8.4 release from VSI requires a 21264 CPU. IIRC, you can make it work with a 68-pin drive, but you may need an adapter with active termination on the pins that get dropped. I’m pretty sure I had something like this

It's a VAXstation II/RC backplane, it was sold cheaper and crippled by DEC to prevent adding more cards to it. That was my first VAX, and I think I still have mine. Zane > On Oct 10, 2017, at 6:07 AM, Rod Smallwood via cctalk > wrote: > > I have in my possession a

DEC Emulation Website

While it’s still in need of a major update, the DEC Emulation website now has a new home. It’s now on my server, and realistically I should have moved it years ago. http://www.avanthar.com/healyzh/decemulation/decemu.html Believe it or not, I am planning to update the pages in the near

I don’t know what happened to Aaron, I’ve not spoken with him in years. The company he used to work for, which has been housing his website, appears to be in the process of falling apart. As it happens, I host my DEC Emulation pages with them as well. Zane > On Oct 6, 2017, at 8:53 AM, Ed

I’m not sure if Aaron’s website was offline prior to the last couple days or not, as I honestly don’t remember the last time that I visited, but it’s offline now. Aaron once upon a time, used to work for what was a really great ISP, aracnet.com, and that’s apparently where his website was

DEC LK401 vs. LK402?

Am I correct that the only difference between the LK401 keyboard and the LK402 is the keycaps? If so, does anyone know if LK450 (actually apparently an LK451 despite the sticker on the back) keycaps can be transplanted to an LK401? Zane
