Do anyone have BLISS-16 for VMS? I guess it might be bundled with BLISS-32, but I don't know. I would like to test it some, and I have a VAX box running VMS, but my distribution CDs are far away, and I don't know if I have BLISS in there, but I thought I'd start by asking here before I try to get access to CDs 2000 km away...

Superdome anyone?

Yes, it is possible to replace PA-RISC cells with Itanium cells, but as the architecture isn't very recent, you cannot use very recent cells (or CPUs). The version with PA8800/8900 CPUs can be upgraded to a version with up to 1.6GHz Itanium CPU's.

DECserver firmware?

by bqt＠softjar.se

I usually try to keep all that I have on MIM, so they will always be there... If anyone wants to send more my way, feel free.

I will add any others that I can find as well. If anyone has additional MOP images please place copies in your default DECnet account directory and respond to this message.

MIM:: is indeed serving MOP boot requests from DS100, DS200 and DS300. The images are: DS100 - PR0801ENG.SYS DS200 - PS0801ENG.SYS DS300 - SH1601ENG.SYS (apologies if I accidentally switch DS100 and DS200). They are on MIM::DU:[5,54], but it might be that they are not accessible for the generic public. Let me know in if so, and you need them, and I'll make the available somewhere. Johnny
