I'm getting an Alphaserver 1000a and wanted to install VMS 8.4 - hobbyist license from CD. So, I went to the folder on my PC where I have the 8.4 hobbyist distribution.? There are 3 ISO files; ALPHA084, ALPHA084LP1 and ALPHA084LP2. I thought I would burn these to CD and up and away.? However, Windows 7 balks and says, 'The selected disc image file isn't valid'. Is it Windows 7 or is there something I'm missing?? Is the CD on the Alphaserver 2048 byte block size or 512? Doug

CLASSICCMP vs. RackSpace or Gmail

by kspt.tor＠gmail.com

On 6 February 2018 at 06:09, Zane Healy via cctalk > And obviously I meant to ask, is anyone able to get email from this list via > either gmail or an email account hosted by RackSpace? I've always used gmail with the list. There used to be a problem with automatic de-subscription due to 'excessive bounces', that problem went away after the list was modified to not show 'From' addresses directly. Since then the gmail/list combination has worked perfectly.

A couple of RL02 questions

by cramcram＠gmail.com

I've got two RL02 units. One is a parts unit and has an access plate for the door solenoid. I can open it. The other has no access plate nor is there a cutout for one. How do I open this cover with the power off? This is a newer unit as it has head lock screws on the bottom of the drive. The second question has to do with rack mounting. I want to mount this in a H960 cabinet but will obviously need to slide it out to replace packs. All the unit has is a thin rail on both sides that is riveted to the unit. It looks like chassis slides were there originally. Does anyone have either the DEC part # for the slides or a contemporary part # for one that will work? Thanks, Marc

DEC Storageworks

by dj.taylor4＠comcast.net

The alphaserver 1000a I have has a storageworks array. The disk carriers are green in color, I see storageworks disks for sale on ebay that are blue.? What is the difference? Are they interchangeable? Is it possible (or even wise) to open one of the green carriers and change the disk out? Doug

Looking for Heath H-29 operation manual and schematic

by aek＠bitsavers.org

Just put a working one together from parts from two different auctions and I'd like to find the rest of the documentation. H-19s are pretty common, H-29s not so much so. Haven't been able to find the docs on line anywhere.

I have used blue disks in a green shelf and green disks in a blue shelf. The modules come apart fairly easily and you can replace the drives or remove drives and use them as ordinary SCSI drives elsewhere - I have done that too. DEC and Compaq also sold DLTs in a StorageWorks module those can also be taken apart and the drive replaced but they are harder to get apart and you must pay attention if you hope to get it reassembled properly. > > Doug > > -- Richard Loken VE6BSV : "...underneath those tuques we wear, Athabasca, Alberta Canada : our heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black

MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor, Version 5.0, Release 139 on CD-ROM?

by glen.slick＠gmail.com

According to the document referenced below the MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor, Version 5.0, Release 139 was available a CD-ROM media, where QZ-K32AA-H8 was the order number of the CD-ROM media kit. So the question is, does anyone happen to have a copy of that MDM CD-ROM? Or any versions of MDM on CD-ROM? MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor Release Notes Order Number: AA-PK29E-TE These release notes describe restrictions, undocumented features, and other essential information about the MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor (MDM) Version 5.0, Release 139. These release notes supersede all other MDM documentation. http://manx-docs.org/collections/mds-199909/cd1/vax/pk29ete.pdf
