Seems to have been some interest in OpenVMS compatible graphics cards of late. I think this one will work:

I think that's what's fitted in my Alpha Personal Workstation 500au. It's a good card and yes it works certainly with the Alpha and OpenVMS 8.3. Might take some light config tweaks to work with LCD panels and it's best used in 16-bit as the 24-bit modes are apparently a little flakey in VMS.

Nope, you are correct. At least if compared to:

Read the comments, there are instructions on how to extract firmware
images from OpenVMS install kits.

Wow. I put that up there 10 years ago... :-)
Anyway, that helped me jog my memory a little bit as well. 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.

Yes. I might be serving it as well, if your MOP traffic comes through.
I think I have the image on MIM::, but can't find it right now. I know I have it on my home system, but that one is off over the weekend, so I can't make that available until monday.
Anyway, I have images for DECserver 100, 200 and 300.

Yeah, I could do with that. I remember seeing one to. My licenses are up on October 10th, two days after DEC Legacy.
Mark
What's the command to nuke the license DB?

I should have something, however, the system isn't up at the moment. Have you tried googling the USENET archives? Someone should have posted something to comp.os.vms.
If you don't have any permanent licenses, I think you can simply blow your old password database away.
