Predate it by like a *decade*.
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.
I am bothered by having been conditioned by this. ;)
I have several 5+ year old drives that still work though...however newer ones have died in a year. It makes me hesitant to buy drives. ;)
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.
I'll probably try that when I get back home.

Well I'm not running that anywhere, so I can't help you with that, I'm
sorry. My one Itanium2-based system will not (or so I'm told) run VMS.
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.
What compilers do you need? I could possibly set them up on RHESUS..

What does your Itanium2 run, then?
Not a damn thing. ;) It hasn't been powered on in about two years. I
installed Linux on it, but it was slower than pissing tar. And this is
a quad Itanium2 with like 6GB of RAM at some ungodly high clock speed!
I patted my UltraSPARCs (which run at HALF that clock rate)
affectionately on that day.

I just shut down an instance of RSTS/E v10.1 under SIMH on my VAX

How much heat does it output though? :p
It only feels like a *small* hair dryer. ;) I don't even think
too much about running little 1U machines, though. You'll
understand when you come to visit.
Yup. From the pictures I've seen, you've got quite a few racks. ;)
Speaking of 1Us, I have a 1U sitting on top of your ES40. Quite a
size difference! ;)
Who said "size doesn't matter.." ;)
;)
You're gonna love the es40 sitting in the living room waiting
patiently for you in the winter. ;! She'll definitely keep a
room warm. You get the one with two drive cages, too. Plus!
FibreChannel cards!
Schweet!
When you come to pick her up and do the trade, you can pick if you
want any of the PCI cards from my ES40. Several of them I will never
use. ;)
Ahh, thanks. I likely won't need any, but I will keep it in mind.
Okay.
I do need to devise a better way to keep the hard drives plugged in
though...currently have them propped up with screwdrivers...need
something to support the full-height drives that predate the ES40.

Thank everyone!
If you want a gift I can give you season 2 of LOST on DVD or a 2000s-era Sony Walkman.
Either of those is a real good way to get me to never talk to you again. :)
It was worth a shot. ;)
Nobody seems to want all of LOST season 2 for some reason!
