OK, Cool, you need to let Johnny know so he can update the master node name database as well.

I have also tested a Multia with 64MB and VMS V7.3. It worked, but was really slow. I wasn't expecting much more than bootability. The Multia is slow (EV4/166MHz or EV4/233MHz) and 64MB is the absolute minimum for AXPVMS. Kari

Terminal software (other than DECterm) that can do ReGIS and/or SIXEL graphics?

by wilson＠dbit.com

From: Paul Koning <paul_koning at dell.com> It [ReGIS] also showed up, in lobotomized form, in the "GIGI" (don't bother looking for one, they suck). Aw c'mon, we *loved* the ones we had at our H.S.! They were terrible VT100s but the graphics were competitive with micros at the time (so the quality of RSTS video games went way up), and the MBASIC-80 in ROM gave us something to play with when the PDP-11 was down.

Sampsa Do you have the release version of 8.4? I had hopes of having iSCSI working with the Alpha Version of 8.4, but I have to wonder if they crippled it so that it only works with HP devices. :-( I've considered seeing if I could use SIMH to export disks. I need a way to significantly cut my power requirements, so that I can bring at least one VMS system back online. I've been considering a lean config on an AlphaStation 200 4/233, rather than my XP1000 with 6 external high performance SCSI drives. I'm also thinking of setting up an Atom based system running SIMH, the problem being that costs money that I'd rather spend on photography. Zane

Of course people scoff, but it's a great way to test floating point since it's obviously not an intel product... and gives different results, in strange and fun ways to make sure your code still comes out right...... Oh! You were being serious! How about running OpenBSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD or Linux on there? Would that do the trick for you? Zane
