Subject: Looking for early versions of MicroVMS & VWS
WANTED - Early Versions of:
- MicroVMS V1.0 (later renamed to V4.0) V4.1, V4.1M, V4.2
- VWS (VAX/VMS Workstation Software) V1.1, V2.0, V3.0
Help please, I want to run my MicroVAX I/IIs on contemporary software!
Any media (TK50 tape cartridge, RX50 floppies, 9-track tape, ...) , any
condition (Installation media, BACKUP Save Sets, Disk/Tape Images, ...)
Regards,
Ulli
P.S.
I can help out with other old VAX software
I too would like to find media for an older version of VMS, as I recently
acquired a MicroVAX II. It has an RD53, but I think it does not work as it
whines and the machine won't boot from it, even though I believe it is
supposed to have a version of Ultrix on it. I am in the process of trying to
setup a cluster and see if I can boot the machine from a DEQNA I bought
recently as well, but that will be VMS 7.3 and I would like to have an older
version for old-times sake and also so that I can fit it onto the disk, if
it works, or onto another RD53 or RD54 if I can get hold of one.
Regards
Rob
