My one Itanium2-based system will not (or so I'm told) run VMS. What does your Itanium2 run, then? Not a damn thing. ;) It hasn't been powered on in about two years. I installed Linux on it, but it was slower than pissing tar. Here's a crazy idea: Install Windows Server I64, and put a bunch of SIMH instances on it.. I have a ZX2000 with a 1.4Ghz processor and 1GB RAM that runs Windows 2000 server quite nicely. On my "To do" list is converting it to OpenVMS but first I have to get the 100GB of shared files off to another file server. Eeeeek. 2000. If only NT 4 ran on Itanium. ;) My "To do" list is embarrassingly long. John H. Reinhardt
