Get a news VMS version -- I can make V6.something or V7.something available for you -- and then, restore the .B save set to your boot device. Then, you boot from the system disk to continue the install. Back then, VMS was dis- tributed on tape. I've no idea how you access that from SimH. During the boot, VMS will prompt you to enter where the distribution media is mounted and then, it will just do the rest -- just answer to the questions as they arise. V6.something please. I'm looking for something a bit older than 7.x and as such was trying 4.6. ;) If I can find the time, I'll get to my storage unit and pull the V4 (orange wall) tomes with the installation notes for 11/780 just in case. Do you happen to also have the tapes? -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
