Hi Yvan,
I had forgotten all about Itanium VM capabilities. It's certainly something to
consider if/when I acquire my own IA64 server, though I can't say I have the room for
something superdome sized. It is a little disappointing that most of the smaller offerings
I've seen (that aren't way too expensive) are all rack mountable with no apparent
tower/pedestal-type conversion kits.

I have an Itanium machine you could have a VM on if I could track down a copy of Integrity

Subject: [HECnet] Guest access to a VMS IA64 server on HECnet?
Hi,
Are there any owners of IA64-based VMS servers on HECnet with either some sort of guest
access, or willing to give/loan me a guest account so that I can compile a pascal program
or two? I'm interested in the sort of code produced (PASCAL/LIST/MACHINE_CODE) and
also more generally interested in the 'feel' of VMS running on such a beast
anyway. I go to say or type O___VMS but it seems that only the VMS bit makes it out.
Regards
Keith
