I recently rescued 3 2000s from recycling, and couldn't stand how loud the RD54s were, especially when all 3 were running. I did some research and finally got them all running the Mueller patches to support SCSI drives. Lots quieter now - I can have them all on and still be able to listen to music.

Afternoon all,
What's the latest version of VWS/the workstation stuff? I've heard DECwindows is a bit heavy for a VS2000. ;)
I found JVWS044 (This...might be the Japanese version...) over on slave.hecnet.eu's archive...but I can't manage anything beyond 10K/sec there. Anyone have a newer version on a faster, more local link anywhere?
Thanks!
I'll relax the bandwidth limiter a bit - 10K is a bit pointless...
Mark.

Apparently Clearpoint made a 16M board with a patched ROM.
I don't remember that. Both of my 2000s have the 12M option which, coupled
with the on-board 2M totals out at 14M. Both also have the expansion plate
and external drive options; however, I don;t use them because those Maxtor
XT2190s (RD54s) are so damn loud. I have V6.something on both which I setup
with Snapshot fastboot configuration. It was pretty cool to get them up and
running VMS in about 15 seconds from the dead sergeant. Still too damn slow
those 2000 were for most anything useful.
Heh. Yeah. I certainly need more RAM...I'm also currently doing a network boot. ;)
I picked it up as at $100 + shipping I could finally format MFM drives. ;)

Probably.
BTW, how much memory in the vs2k=E2=80=8E ?
Good question!
It has a 2/4M memory module in it (that is what it says)...so it either=20
has 4M or 6M. I'd love to have one of the 16M clearpoint boards, though.=

DECwindows is fine on a VS2000, FYI. (been there, done that...for YEARS)
Ahh, Okay!
I need to fix these before I can shove it on the cluster node, though. ;)

Seriously, edit MODPARAMS.DAT, set each of those recommendations as:
min_<SYSGEN-parameter> = <suggested-value>
and then @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN and reboot.
