Need disk space for some VAX work? KUHAVX/SIIRI might be useful..

by HECNET＠beyondthepale.ie

I wonder how well Hercules would run on an Integrity? RHESUS has plenty of spare CPU power :) Sampsa It should do just fine - it does on an Alpha. Regards, Peter Coghlan.

I had difficulty getting TME to build on OS X so I'd need to run TME in a linux VM or something even crazier. I also couldn't get anything older than solaris 7 to run in QEMU. :( -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
