Can a VAXstation 4000/60 or /90 be swapped in for a

on the weather (we're in a heat wave right now), I could probably get
my segment back up and running. If it is cool enough, that could
include my PDP-11/73 (most likely running RSTS/E V10.1).
Assuming you are running OpenVMS and have not tailored anything
off the system disk, then you should be able to swap a disk
from one machine to another with no problems.
Note that the network interface name may change (I know that
on a VS4000-90 the interface is EZA0: and I think that a -60
is the same but I don't recall what the VLC uses). So you
may have to do a small amount of network configuration.
