Subject: Fwd: Re: MicroVAX
Greta, my name is Ben Carlson and I am attempting to restore an old DEC MicroVAX II
for the University of Oklahoma's
collections department (see email below, Kerry is their curator). At this point, I
believe I can get the hardware
operating but I have no operating system for itas the Air Force insisted on destroying
the hard drive. I have been able
to replace the hard drive and the system has a tape drive and CD-ROM.
Do you have any idea where I might find the OS? Also, any documentation would be great as
well.
Thanks for your help!

A number of choices for OS. OpenBSD or NetBSD should still work
depending on the actual configuration of the system and VMS still
has a hobbyist license.
