They did a tremendously good job on that.
Does anyone happen to have a Tru64 license kit? I could use it for
my ES40. ;)
The last time this came up, I was told on very good authority that
Tru64 uses the same sort of license PAKs (for which I have a generator)
that VMS uses.
Again....I'll have to put these machines up on a console terminal server
and you can have your way with them Dave. ;-)

Mine was a hobby kit, that did NOT come with any license. I never could
figure that part out. I called Compaq for help and was pretty much told
that it would cost more to do the support call than it was worth. So I
have this nice little box of Tru64 Cd's that I could have ONLY run on my
little AlphaStations, but no license. Now maybe you understand why all 5
of my Alphas have been sitting idle for years. Sad. :(

What did you plan to run?
I haven't gotten that far yet...kinda moot with no disks. ;)
Is DECnet even possible if you run TOPS-20? I
seem to remember MRC mumbling at one time about him having hacked that,
but I'm not sure if it ever became officially supported or distributed.
Tops-10 might work with DECnet, but then I also wonder over which
interface, and if it do Phase IV...?
I don't know, but I'm willing to do what I've gotta do...can run DDCMP
lines to another machine, etc.

I could also say that everything that's going on is Dave's fault,

tribble near him.
That is most certainly NOT my fault; in fact there are two PDP-10s
here that will be up and running (and on HECnet!) if someone can hook me
up with some MASSBUS drives.
What model? And sorry, any MASSBUS drives I might have access to are in
Sweden...
A pair of KS10s,
There are real -10 hardware on HECnet, by the way. But I don't know if
any DEC models are... Anyone?
Sadly I'm pretty sure there aren't.
The one machine I know of, which is real hardware is SOL::, and that is
a System Concepts.
Yes, a glorious machine.

I tried to send you private mail to roll at stupi.se on January 12th, and
it just bounced. I was offering you an OpenVMS 8.4 Alpha CD image. Let
me know if you need it.

I'd need OSF-BASE and UNIX-SERVER I think. Try and generate them and i'll see if they work.
Sent. Let me know.

Hello!
What happened to Mentec and the PDP-11 support after DEC made the
silly decision to spin the division off? And yes you should. The
PDP-10 was an interesting system and one lived for a long time in the

You've just reminded me that I want a TOAD-1. ;)
There is one person here on this list who do have one... :-)

A pair of KS10s. (you know the ones)
One has a bad console board (I can fix it, just need to find the time)
but the other should be functional.
