I started to build one a couple of years ago, but set it aside. I may
have to see if I can resurrect it - and get a later edition of Linux, too.

Do I suspect correctly that NO_SHARE equals no-joy?
Actually it means the license is only good for that system, but you can
load another license for the other system, both licenses can co-exist on
the same system. The Current Hobbyist licenses cover ANY version of VMS
for VAX or Alpha, and 103 layered products. Yes, sort of a
'rock and a hard spot' kind of thing. I have been reading
with interest of Wolfgang Moeller's patches to make the VS2000's SCSI more
conformant to standards. But even here is the problem - how to get it
there. I installed a 1.2mb floppy (RX33), but one needs to get data on
the floppy to be of value. Sigh!!!
I don't suppose you've got a Linux PC? Linux can have DECnet support
added. I suspect you've got DECnet on the VAX, and just need the license
PAK to activate it. If that is true, it would be possible to transfer
files to the VAX via DECnet. It's pretty easy to add DECnet support, but it
does require that you
recompile the Linux kernel.
Have to get it up first :)
