We went through this back in September...
An update: The Micron part number is correct also. For a 512MB DIMM you want a MT18LSDT6472JG-10Exx. The JG indicates the 200-pin DIMM so that's significant as is the -10Exx which specifies the 2CL CAS latency.

You have a DS10 so you don't have to be quite as picky. The DS10L needs a shorter DIMM board. The old DEC/Compaq part number for memory was MS310-xA where A=64MB, B=128MB, C=256MB, D=512MB, E=1GB. This is total size. Each kit is 2 DIMM boards so the largest is a set of 2 512MB DIMMS.
The trick about the DS10/DS10/DS20/ES40 memory is that it's on 200-pin DIMMs. And if you Google or search in Ebay you'll get a ton of hits because it's a common notebook memory size for SO-DIMMs. These will not fit. Be wary. IIRC the basic spec is 200-pin, PC100, ECC but I can't remember if they're buffered or un-buffered (registered or not).
Okay, I pulled a DIMM out of my DS10L and it's DEC part # 20-01ESA-08 and specifically a Samsung M378S6450ATQ-C1H
Googling this tells me it's a 200-pin, PC100, Synchronous, CL2, ECC DIMM.
I found one hit on the US Ebay for memory fitting this specification, however, the picture they have with the listing is for a Micron DIMM board and the part number decodes to a 186-pin DIMM. So either the picture is wrong, or generic or the listing is incorrect. In either case, beware. Alpha Memory 256MB 200pin Synch DIMM100MHz CL2 ECC
Your best bet is going to be searching on MS310-EA or 20-01ESA-08 and on the US EBay it looks like the best deal is
1GB (2x512MB) PC100 ECC Registered ECC 200pin Memory for $59.95 US.
It's an oddball memory and tough to find in the generic market. Good luck.

Thanks for that - but what TYPE (MHz etc) are they, exactly? I was going to just buy generic RAM.

The DS10 uses the same kind of memory as the DS20(E) and the ES40. Memory must be installed in pairs and the maximum size for 1 memory board is 512 MB.
Have a look at eBay Sampsa. Check the systems and options guide for the DS10 memory part numbers on the HP site

Guys, what kind of DIMMs should I be looking for on ebay to add ram to my DS10?
I'd like the largest possible ones so that I can fill it up to 2 GB.

So i've been (with Steve D's) help researching upgrading the RAM on my DS10.
The HP part number 3X-MS310-EA. From what I can gather, this is a kit of 200 pin, 100 mhz 512 MB set of DIMMs.
Would generic RAM do instead?* If so, what spec? Anyone got pointers to a site that sells them (pref. in UK or EU), or maybe wants to unload some on me?

I don't know about the DS10, but in my PWS 433au, and my XP1000's I just used generic server RAM. The RAM in the PWS was pretty far out of spec, and I never had a problem. Same thing with my AlphaStation 200's and DEC 3000/300LX. As long as you can get parity RAM that fits, and is close to spec, odds are pretty good it will work.
Then there is my **** Alphastation 500/333 I bought from Compaq with only 96Mb of RAM. Over a decade later, it still only has 96Mb of RAM. I got a good deal on the PWS 433au, it and the RAM were cheaper than what it would have cost to get the AS 500/333 up to a usable amount of RAM. Who me, bitter? :-(

Hello!
And what prompted this idea? Dial up access is indeed very retro. Most
people don't realize that the Internet worked over largely leased
lines, and sometimes on the campus side of the net, via dial up but
only on demand, and typically late at night, to catch up on those
things that were not necessary for every day use......

There is no real VMS equivalent for the dd command.
The closest thing is to mount the disk as a foreign device. Then you might try backup to copy data towards it. The copy command won't work I think, though it does so on a foreign mounted tape.

I want to write the contents of a file directly onto a device, like you would on say Unix with dd:
dd if=infile of=/dev/outdevice
How do I do this on VMS?

What about the LD driver...?
