Wow. I put that up there 10 years ago... :-) Anyway, that helped me jog
my memory a little bit as well. MIM:: is indeed serving MOP boot
requests from DS100, DS200 and DS300. The images
are:
DS100 - PR0801ENG.SYS
DS200 - PS0801ENG.SYS
DS300 - SH1601ENG.SYS
(apologies if I accidentally switch DS100 and DS200).
They are on MIM::DU:[5,54], but it might be that they are not accessible
for the generic public. Let me know in if so, and you need them, and
I'll make the available somewhere.

Notice the .SYS files - suitable for DECserver 90TL/DECserver 90M.
[MSW]SLAVE$ dir slave::
Directory SLAVE::$4$DKC400:[MEDIA]
ALPHA_MEDIA.DIR;1 DECUS-1.DIR;1 DECUS-VLT.ZIP;1 INFO.TXT;6
MNENG1.SYS;1 MNENG2.SYS;1 PATCHES.DIR;1 VAX_MEDIA.DIR;1
WWENG1.SYS;1
Total of 9 files.
Directory SLAVE::$4$DKC500:[MEDIA]
DECUS-2.DIR;1 DECUS-VMSD.ZIP;1 DECUS-VMSLT00.ZIP;1 IA64_MEDIA.DIR;1
Total of 4 files.
Grand total of 2 directories, 13 files.
I have copied each of these files to the default DECnet account
directories on SG1:: (area 19 router) and GORVAX:: (area 8 router) for
anyone who may need them. I will add any others that I can find as
well. If anyone has additional MOP images please place copies in your

Seems to have been some interest in OpenVMS compatible graphics cards of late. I think this one will work:

I think that's what's fitted in my Alpha Personal Workstation 500au. It's a good card and yes it works certainly with the Alpha and OpenVMS 8.3. Might take some light config tweaks to work with LCD panels and it's best used in 16-bit as the 24-bit modes are apparently a little flakey in VMS.

Nope, you are correct. At least if compared to:
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/232
Read the comments, there are instructions on how to extract firmware
images from OpenVMS install kits.

Yes. I might be serving it as well, if your MOP traffic comes through.
I think I have the image on MIM::, but can't find it right now. I know I have it on my home system, but that one is off over the weekend, so I can't make that available until monday.
Anyway, I have images for DECserver 100, 200 and 300.
