Subject: VAX 4000-200 Maintenance
Performed maintenance of my VAX 4000-200.
Removed NiCad battery
My to-do list has me doing the rounds of all my machines to check them all for the
batteries. I'd like to replace rather than remove though, but that could get expensive
at about ?10-12 pounds per machine for the cordless phone battery packs sold by Maplin.
Maybe there is a better alternative, I should go and take a look.
Regards
Rob
Replaced hard drive
Made new image of system drive
The how-to is all over the web, but I summarized a lot of the basic support tasks
associated with a networked VAX 4000 here for anyone interested in a simple
"for dummies" page
