Yes, DECtapes are very cool. DLTs are pretty nice too; they FINALLY
fixed the TK50 after a few iterations! ;)

RLs and RKs (especially RK06/7) are wonderful drives. I've used a
lot of both and I love 'em.
Anybody know if DEC ever made a Qbus RK06/7 controller?

Hello,
I have an HP 9000/800 F20 machine that I don't have a video card for, so I
cannot just plug a monitor to it. I also don't have a keyboard. The
machine powers on and has HP-UX on it.
I bought a cable that is supposed to connect my PC to the serial console
connector on the F20. When I connect I can see HP-UX booting, but nothing I
type seems to be getting through to the F20. I wonder if it is due to some
password protection, or is it due to wrong terminal settings?
I'd be grateful for any hints.

Ade, I have a few. Email me your address off-list, and I'll post you one.

Well, according to the New York Times (as seen on /.) it looks like HP is
buying Compaq for 25 Billion dollars!?!? It looks like I've gone from
being a DEC collector, to a Compaq collector, to a HP collector. Huh!

I am looking for a VAX computer system, such as the DEC VAX 11/780. I am also
looking for its hardware, Monitors, Keyboards, Printers, Disk Drives, Hard
drives, Tape drives, etc. Please E-mail me at XwingFhtr(a)aol.com. Thank you.

The TK50 was not so great; the TK70 was much more reliable. I don't have
any experience with the TZ30 (although I do have one somewhere). The Tx85,
Tx86, Tx87, Tx88, and Tx89 all seem to be exceptionally reliable (along with
the equivalent DLTx000 drives). I used to use DAT at home. Now I use a
DLT4700 system.

Does anyone have any spare 2114 (or alternative pin compatible 1KBx4) SRAM
chips hanging about doing nothing useful?
I have a PET 2001 with one blown chip, and neither Farnell nor RS do them
any more :(
Cheers!
Ade.

You need release media that supports your VAX. In this case either 5.5H4 or
6.x VMS. Once you have the appropriate media, then you can stick it into
the CD and boot Standalone backup from the disk, then type:
BACKUP/IMAGE/VERYFIY DKAxxx:VMS06x.B/SAVE DKAyyy:
which will copy the first part of the install from the CD (DKAxxx:) on to
the disk (DKAyyy:)
When that finishes boot that disk and continue by following the prompts.
