I know right? I'm amazed they still work! Ahh, young'ns. ;) You're accustomed to brand-new drives dying in a year or two. That's a relatively recent thing, designed to drive sales figures. Nowadays society is well-trained, due to its short memory, to happily accept that a one-year-old hard drive is "old", a five-year-old car is "old", etc etc. It's bullshit. We need to find you some recent drives somewhere. Yeah but will you be able to find 2 18G ones? ;) Maybe. You can ask around a bit too, you know. ;) Try the sunhelp list as I suggested awhile back. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

SIMH for VMS on VAX

My one Itanium2-based system will not (or so I'm told) run VMS. What does your Itanium2 run, then? If someone can get me a compiler kit for Integrity and 'how the ****' instructions I can do it on my zx6000 but I've never compiled anything under VMS. First time for everything I guess :) If you can get the compilers installed and give me an account, I'd be happy to build it there. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Be sure to pull an XMPP and set resources...multiple identical users at the same time. ;) Too much of a headache - I'm going MSN style, the last place you logged in from is the place you're logged in.
