You needed an RT-11 license for the load (and create) host, then licenses for each MRRT-11 system. I used this when I was a DEC OEM for a while. Is this around anywhere? It sounds like lots of fun. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA Hello! I'll say. That does sound like something I would want to try out.... Now as to your equipment collection Dave, your 11/53 running in a different suit, you are aware it can be flipped back to a 11/53? I'm still trying to sort out my directions for hardware and software...... ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." Greg, Bring up SimH (VAX) on a platform of your choice, then register and acquire VMS licenses. This is the easiest way to start. More support is available for VMS than anything else. After you get the VAX (and VMS) up and running, connect to HECnet. From that point on it won't really matter which direction you choose - you will be on HECnet and can add systems as necessary. -Steve
