Afternoon all,
What started that myth? I've managed to get a 146G drive working in a
VAXstation 4000/60 (10,000 RPM, too!). Unless I did my maths wrong, it's
showing up as 136G as a FILES-11 volume(~700M in SHOW DEVICES at the
tripel chevron prompt)
There also seems to be no 1G boot drive limit on this as my boot drive is
about 4G.
Was this a limit that existed in earlier VAXstations?
VMS, generally, doesn't have any issues unless you're booting the system
with older built-in controllers. Even then, if you can organize the VMS
files needed for bootstrap, you can probably boot from a larger system
drive too.
