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!
Thank you!
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 ;)
The 7000 doesn't so much "hum" as it does "rumble". That gigantic
low-speed blower is most impressive.
(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).
Nope! I need to figure out, watt for watt, if it's more expensive to
heat with electricity (via big iron in my case) than natural gas here in
western PA USA. I suspect gas is cheaper, but am not certain, and I
don't know the transfer function of the boiler in my building.

So guys,
This is getting REALLY competitive and the US players are complaining about ping times to a UK based server - the high-frequency trading equivalent of retrogaming.
So my question: Is anyone willing to host this on a US-based telnetable VMS box as a captive account?

Johnny, I renumbered QAMAR, SHAMS, LABVAX and KUHAVX as well as SOLAR5 to area 47.
Can you update the node database?
Will do, later tonight. As well as sign you up on area 47.

I'm easy either way :)
Easier if you pick an area noone have spoken for, just in case... Or else contact the person that signed up for that area, and sort it out with him.

That's possible. I feel like he'd have mentioned it, though.
(and if he did, Jen will never let him have the hardware ;))
SIMH on the Raspberry PI for the win! :-D
There's that. Also, he's got a VMware host on his home network; "new
machines" can just pop into existence on there with no spousal
recognition whatsoever. =)
