I've been following this list for a while, and it looks like things are
to the point that you might want a few testers. I have the following
setup: (note: I'm not a VAX hardware guy *yet*, so I'm going to tell you
what I see. Let me know if I got anything wrong.)
VAX 11/750
-16mb RAM
-4 processor boards(?)
-TU58(?) tape drive (the little tiny builtin one)
-Emulex disk controller (labelled UD3310401 00 REV D)
-CDC XMD850 HD, addressed as DUA0:
-DEC Ethernet adapter (and our building is supposedly getting
ethernet Real Soon Now[tm])
-32 serial ports
The machine is currently shut down, but it boots VMS 5-4 and runs
reliably. I'd be willing to take a bit of a road trip (from Rochester,
NY) with my (very heavy) disk to install NetBSD, then bring the disk back
and boot it up. Is this something people would be interested in/willing
to do?
Tom
