Yup, I've copied them off the CDs as individual packages. Have a look on RHESUS:: under the [.MEDIALIB.AXP.SPL] directory. I have also dumped copies of Freeware distros vol 5 - vol 8, but have not extracted the individual files from these. Sampsa On 17 Sep 2009, at 23:12, Zane H.

I'm willing to donate some space on RHESUS for this use, say 100 GB? I've got a copy of the VAX and Alpha software product libraries lying around as well as a couple of versions of VMS for Alpha and VAX as well as IA64 - any contributions would be welcome of course. Anyone else interested in this? There are problems with doing this, especially for the PDP-11. At the same time, HECnet is fairly private, decidedly hobbyist, and I think Christine might be the only one with non-DEC hardware connected (I plan to get ZEUS, my Linux system, back online on new hardware one of these days). I have a set of Ultrix (VAX and MIPS) lying around if they are use to anyone! I'd be happy to make them available. I don't have licences though! Chrissie I have been meaning to add some more disk space to PDXVAX and put the contents of the VAX/VMS Hobbyist V1 CD back online. I for one would find it useful to also have DECUS software repositories on HECnet. I had the V1 CD online when PDXVAX was first connected, but then switched from multiple 4GB 7200RPM drives in a BA350 shelf to a single 2GB 5400RPM drive in a BA353 to cut down on the noise and heat. The BA353 is dead, and noise is no longer an issue, heat during the summer will be a problem, though in the winter it will be an advantage. Zane

I'm happy to download them if you have a reasonable uplink, or feel free to deliver them: Flat 3 Auriol Mansions Edith Road London W14 0ST UK On 17 Sep 2009, at 21:05, Mark Wickens wrote: I've got shed loads of images for VAX, Alpha and Itanium - Operating System disks, Software Product Libraries, Networking Stuff and Campus CDs.
