Al 22/10/12 15:57, En/na Dave McGuire ha escrit: I brought up my VAX 7000 yesterday. 2x HSJ50s CI-connected controllers with six 9GB SCSI drives, 1.5GB of RAM, and two 600-series processors, running VMS 7.3. It's not running full-time, but I'll be running it more as the weather turns colder. What a beautiful machine. Congratulations! I love hearing the humming of my real VAXen... and those are a 4000/200 and a micro-3300. So I guess the humming of a 7000 is a thousand times better than that ;) (Weather has cooled a little bit around here... and I have been powering on my machines a little bit lately. Guess I will need no climatizer in winter).

Just in case anyone is trying the router on Windows, I just fixed a bad bug that causes heap corruption. The linux version is unaffected. Regards Rob
