Bringing the VAX 4000-300 back to life.

Well I tried it. The two systems were connected together with 50Ohm co-ax and terminators at both ends. I hooked in a hub that had a BNC connector to monitor what was going on. After running @SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN on the -200 it became a boot server and I did a BOOT EZA0: on the -300. Both systems were talking to the network but ignored each other. On the console of the -300 it just printed 'Retrying Network Boot' for ever. Hardly a surprise wth no DecNet or TCP/IP running. Oh well back to trying to create a bootable tape and put MOP on my list of fables and fairy stories.
