The M9060-YA is a load board to make the power suppy happy. It should
be a bunch of power resistors...

Model 640QS-B2 BA213
MS650/M7621 - 8MB RAM
KA640/M7624 - MicroVAX 3300/3400
M7559 - TMSCP controller for TK70
DSV11-SA/M3108 - 2-line sync SLU (Serial Line Unit)
M9060-YA - Good Question!
KSQSA/M5976-SA - Qbus to SCSI adapter
TQK70/M7559-00 - TMSCP controller for TK70
M9060-YA - Again Good Question.
This strikes me as a slightly odd set of boards. What kind of disks does it
use? What is hooked up to the SCSI adapter?
Can these machines run Linux or NetBSD. Where do
I get OpenVMS? And yes
I'm pretty sure that we are licensed for VMS (Corp ITS is crazy about
that kind of thing!).
The Linux/VAX project looks to be dead last I checked. It will run NetBSD,
however the PROPER Operating System for these boxes is OpenVMS.
Are you wanting to run these as Hobbyist systems? If so look at:
http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/ for licenses and buying a OpenVMS/VAX CD.
You'll also need to get a free DECUS membership, and it has links to that I
believe.
If you're wanting to run it as a commercial system you'll want to check:
http://www.openvms.compaq.com
In either case you'll probably also want to check out:
