That reminds me, I need to get my PDP-11 emulation back up and running. I'm actually missing using RSX-11 M+ (there's something wrong with me, I swear. It's Johnny's fault! :P ). EVERYTHING is Johnny's fault. ;) Bring up that PDP-11! (even if it's not real iron!) I think I've heard that before (Jonny's fault ;-), while I may not necessarily agree with it. Eh, Ma ana. It takes me over an hour to do a fresh SYSGEN and NETGEN and I haven't done it in ages so I'll be out of practice. I do want to get it running again though and delve a little deeper into RSX-11 :) Which reminds me, I need to get my RSX-11M+ VM back up?shame E11 has no x86_64 build?the distro I run doesn't have an i386 compat layer. -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts. Anyway, back on topic: I think running NT 4 on this is a lost cause. ;) Um...yes, I believe there is a support disk (as I mentioned a week back), I have TSE running on both of my White Elephants (DecServer 3300s). But I would have to agree with Dave, that it is kind of like strapping a couch to your Ferrari (sure it will work, but it is not very practical). This was the first install I did on my 3300s and that was BEFORE Y2k. And both of these machines have been turned off for years. :( No support disk for the ES40 proper, closest I could get was DS20, so i'm currently installing Tru64. That's a rather old install then. ;) I think i'm going to go try Tru64. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. Yes, this would be a much better approach. ;-) Brett
