[HECnet] What started the modern VAX drive limit myth?

Unless I did my maths wrong, it's showing up as 136G as a FILES-11 volume(~700M in SHOW DEVICES at the tripel chevron prompt) There also seems to be no 1G boot drive limit on this as my boot drive is about 4G. Was this a limit that existed in earlier VAXstations? VMS, generally, doesn't have any issues unless you're booting the system with older built-in controllers. Even then, if you can organize the VMS files needed for bootstrap, you can probably boot from a larger system drive too. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
