I received an RX4640 for my birthday today (ok a few weeks early). 4 cpu, 12Gb ram, 2x
72Gb discs. It also appears to have 2 smart array controllers and some fibre channel cards
(pci-x)
I put VSI VMS on it.
It?s going to be ANBUS on the HECnet.
Boy is it loud!
And warm....
:)
Right, now back to that CI for SIMH that I parked a while back....
Buzzing!

LOL! Is that going to be the newest system on HECnet to natively speak DECnet, not
counting emulation hosts or things running Python or Linux stacks?

Well, funny you should mention that. It's ethernet'd to a switch as is a small
linux box running PyDECnet which connects me to the HECnet.
I have a slight problem with the RTC, SAL and EFI NVM which I hope only requires the
BR2330 battery replacing.
