Subject: Re: Vax 6000-430 upgrade to 6000-620
<snip>
It's been a while since I worked on 6000 series
VAXen (it's about 4 years
since I left La Trobe Uni). My immediate recollection is that the upgrade
requires new CPUs and new memory as well
I have some ram that is suitable if the installed stuff isn't I think.
although it might be that the memory I had was too
small/old to work in the 6000-300 that became a
6000-500. I do recall it was just a matter of pulling the old stuff out and
adding the new stuff in.
Ok, that was the bit I needed to know. I was fairly sure it was just that, but wanted to
be certain I wasn't going to blow anything
up.
If the RAM can't handle the pace I can solve that. I was just concerned about the
CPU's and the regulator..
Thanks Huw.
Cheers
