[HECnet] Boot VAX from Alpha host Infoserver?

I forgot to add... When I am confident of this new version I will send it to Johnny for his review and possible inclusion of a "sanctioned" release. We will see... -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of gerry77 at mail.com Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2009 14:26 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] Boot VAX from Alpha host Infoserver?

With the new version of the bridge that we are field testing it might be interesting to see what is Will that new version be available on Johnny Billquist HECnet website as an official new release of the bridge or is a somewhat private fork? possible. I have just purchased a (real not hobbyist) VMS V7.3-1 kit for VAXen to try this out on - it should be here sometime next week. Anyway, IIRC, even a hobbyist CD-ROM would work in the same way, I'm right? I can make the system available to any and all who would like to login to it and play/learn/hack etc. When the VMS kit shows up I will send additional mail. Well, I'm very interested in the structure and contents of an InfoServer system disk as it results from INITIALIZE and UPDATE SYSTEM commands. When you'll be ready to share, I hope we'll be able to arrange something to let me have a peek at that disk structure! 8-) Thanks, G.
