When you say "a small-ish drive", what
counts as "small" for
VMS? Or rather, what sort of drive should I be looking for to
/not/ have to muck around when installing it?
My hope is to get the machine booting into DECwindows. I
don't plan to use it as a server, more as sort of glorified
X-terminal if anything.
I used to have VMS (V5.5, V6) + DECnet-Plus on an RD54 (157MB).
I would say that 300MB or so is comfortable for VMS + DECW +
a bunch of layered products. You can always hang an additional
disk (> 1GB) on there for data.
