Hi! Just a short heads-up: I've been doing a lot of rework on my testing setup lately and noticed that current VAX install ISOs won't boot on a real 4000/60. Further testing: It still boots in SIMH-vax (= microvax3900), but also fails with SIMH-vaxstation4000m60 and a usual 80 MB configuration. "Failing" means to lock up right after printing out the machine type. (SIMH-vaxstation4000m60 will print two additional lines about the installed memory and lock thereafter.) Tracked it down to "extent(9) -> vmem(9)" patch from November last year (reverting helps), but we don't have a fix yet. So while I'm at it, I'll not only run the tests on SIMH "vax", but will try to also cover all the other VAX variants... MfG, JBG --
