Our VAX-11/780 will hopefully be up and running sometime this winter,
as will the second PDP-11/70. One of the DECsystem-2020s may come up
this winter as well, depending on volunteer time availability. I just
started putting together a MicroVAX-II dual-booting VMS 4.7 and Ultrix,
and will try to get DECnet running under Ultrix on that.
The -2020 will be tricky to get up on HECnet, though. As far as I
remember/know, it only officially had Phase III. And you need to run
TOPS-20 V4.
Not sure if Tops-10 ever had DECnet on them, but if it did, I would
suspect it's the same story there. The -2020s I ever used just ran
Tops-10 with ANF-10.
But let's hope you can get some of those other systems up and online a
bit more.
Another project that we may do this winter is
getting SGI 4DDN
(DECnet for IRIX) running on one of the Irises.
That's at LSSM. At home, I have a MicroVAX-II and VAX-4000 model 96
running VMS and a PDP-11/83 running RSX-11M-PLUS that are on HECnet when
I have them up and running. Soon a MicroVAX-I will join them.
The MVI is another interesting beast. Not sure when VMS stopped
supporting that one, but it was probably quite some time ago. Max 4MB of
memory is somewhat limiting. :-)
