Easiest way to do 'sed' type search and replace on VMS...

I've only heard apocryphal tales of it's less than simple syntax, never actually used it.. EDIT/TECO VMS is easy :) But perhaps you will want to take a look at SUMSLP. http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/ovms_sumslp_util.pdf Or even to TPU... :) Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES

The rest is emulated. But right now I have all my real metal online. It's quite cold here and those machines make a nice heath system hehehe (The $SHOW NET was done in an emulated 780 btw...)

(Actually, you can boot from larger disks as well, as long as the boot rom don't need to read from anything above 1G.) Nice to know. IIRC I read about the firmware dropping the high bits of the block address so at some point in time the writes against the disk would "wrap around" and trash the first 4GBs... but it seems its quite an urban legend :) No. That is correct. And it's 1G, not 4G. SCSI commands comes in some different flavors. Old VAXstations (and some others) used 6 byte SCSI commands, which limited the block numbers to 20 bits (some say 21, but I think it is 20). Later systems use 10 byte SCSI commands, which allows for 32 bit block numbers. What happens is that if you go above 20 bits in the SCSI commands of those old VAXen, they will just use the low 20 bits of the block number, so you will indeed wrap. See http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/218 if you want a few more details.

I have some SCA-68-50 pin adapters for SCSI disks, and I have used those with success with 4GB drives, but I have read somewhere the vaxstation firmware can't handle disks bigger than that. Anyone knows if that is true? Can I plug in a generic, big SCSI disk and hope it will work? Sigh. The misinformation that keeps spreading. The problem is for specific older VAXen. I think it's even only specific 3100 models. And the problem is just that the boot rom uses a more restricted disk block addressing, limiting the booting to disks of less than 1G. (Actually, you can boot from larger disks as well, as long as the boot rom don't need to read from anything above 1G.) Once the OS starts, it uses its own device driver, and then you don't have the restriction either.

Honestly, though, I might hack on even a new one: potting a battery with a limited life span is the dumbest thing since russian roulette with a pistol. Well, as I wrote, I bought 2. One of them is dead. So now I have two dead chips to practice surgery with :) The one in the 4000/60 will die one of these days too...
