Hey all,
I got a DEC 2000 Alpha server and it is working great!
It has VMS 5.2 installed on it and that's where I'm stuck.
Since I don't have a login user name or password I can't really do anything
with it.
Is there a way to "hack" VMS so I can get in?
Or do I just need to reinstall VMS and start from scratch?
-Ken V.

Hello,
Apparently there is a Hewlett-Packard 9845B awaiting
disposal in the basement of a company in Graz, Austria.
I'd love to rescue the machine, but because I'm on the
east coast of the United States it's a little too far for me to
go and pick it up. It's also an extremely heavy machine,
so shipping across the pond isn't affordable (for me).
So, if anyone closer to Austria is interested in saving this
classic computer, contact me off-list and I'll put you in touch
with the owner.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Dan

Erik,
I have one and I think I have the manual for it. IIRC it's all menu
driven, (pick the manufacturer then the EPROM number) and it programs 2716
to 27256 (or 27512?) type EPROMs.

Hi all !
Just a question which I'm quite curious about:
Is it possible to use my VAX 4000/200 as a web-server ?
That way, I could provide my future site about my collection by using parts of it ;)
This, of course, would mean the VAX running 24h a day.
SCSI-disks would certainly be a better choice than my SDI-disks in order to avoid a crash...
Is my VAX with its 5 VUP and 32MB RAM fast enough to run a webserver ?
Pierre

Aha! I wondered about that -- thanks for the tip!

Found some "semi-interesting" machines this week:
- IBM PC/AT with all IBM components, nearly pristine shape excluding
some scratches on the bottom; only missing a couple of screws and the
hard drive. It's got the real-deal IBM 5.25" floppy and 3.5" floppy
drives (1200KB/DSHD and 720KB/DSDD, right?)
- IBM PS/2 Model 90, missing hard drive and RAM, but I should be able
to replace those with other parts. I'm hoping to get OS/2 2.1 running
on this.
And, something a bit more interesting which I actually "paid money" for:
- DEC VAX 11/750 with 8MB ram, floating point accelerator, 1kW PCS
version of the microcode store card, Massbuss and two Unibus adaptor
cards, and the onboard unibus is complete with a TU80K-CP TU80
controller, DMF32 async + printer port card, and DZ11-A serial card.
A question about the TU80K-CP: I've heard that it's a DEC re-badged
version of a DILOG PERTEC card, with custom firmware so that it only
will talk to a TU80. Does anyone have the DILOG firmware that I can
put onto it to make it talk to a "standard" PERTEC 9track tape drive?
Also, I'm looking for
1) UNIBUS ethernet card - DEUNA or DELUA or similar
2) Different firmware for the TU80K, or a TU80 within a couple hours of
here or a different PERTEC card... Actually I might have what I need
for the card already..hmm. But I still need to get a drive for it,
anyhow.
3) An UNIBUS SMD disk interface and/or ST506 disk interface
4) RL11 interface (RL02/RL01 drive controller)

Hiya Chris!
Just purchased the MPA 100 without a manual. I got your name from a google site. Do you still have it available that you could email it to me?
Thanks,
Rob

ivan.Harhan.ORG is a VAX655 (3.8 VUPs) and runs httpd. ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG is
a VAX650 (2.8 VUPs) and runs httpd. OS is 4.3BSD-Quasijarus and httpd is IFCTF
httpd, formerly W3C httpd, formerly CERN httpd. The original.

Well, yeah, how else?... Aren't you already using your VAXen for all your most
essential mission-critical applications, as your sole computing platform and as
your main servers, as you should be? Well, OK, I guess not everyone is like
me... I do just the above. I have *NO* computers other than Classic ones.

I use SDI disks exclusively and have been doing so since 1999.

P.S. But then again, I'm not like most people. I'm a lot more principled.
Yes, if you can (and should be able to) get a console prompt, the
method I used was to do
SET UAFALT 1
CONTINUE
which set the authorize file to the alternate, which on our systems
did not exist. Then when you enter system as the login id, any
password works.
I did not know about the method of setting the console to startup,
it sounds like another, better way.
In my way, you have to play around in sysgen and swap the authorize
files around after you get on, but still, any port in a storm.

Yes I think I do, I just never got a copy of the software..

Ken do you have a DECUS account? You're gonna need to get a license
for Hobbyist VMS, I think membership is like $90
