Re: DEC Alpha 3000 and OpenVMS 8.4

I was curious about the RZ29 since they seem to be very inexpensive.  I'm trying to decide whether to 're-purpose' a SCSI2SD adapter I'm already using.  I hate to undo something once its already done and working, but SD cards are so cheap. On 10/13/2017 3:15 AM, Peter Coghlan via cctech

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

Hi Camiel, Is there a solution for Hobbyists to get the VSI 8.4 Alpha release? Last time I checked/inquired it seemed like there was uncertainty about it.  And from what I understand the standard HP Hobbyists License PAKs won't be of much use on a VSI system. Thanks, Jason On 10/13/2017

Re: DEC Alpha 3000 and OpenVMS 8.4

I have 8.4 running on a DEC 3000 as well.  SSH works fine for me.  I think I have a 4GB system disk and have all kinds of extra software installed.  It's currently on the shelf, so I can't tell exactly how much space I'm using -- but erm, I'd look for at least a 4GB drive ;) I've wanted to

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
