Subject: RE: MicroVAX I
If I can call it from DIBOL and I have a spare few days I can have a go :)
This is of course assuming DIBOL 4.2 will be happy running on VMS 5.4 or
earlier; it's the only version I've got I think.
500 mile round trip though....meh.....
Well worth rescuing. Then you can spend some
time looking for the reputed "user-mode crasher"
instruction that would halt the machine when
executed even in unprivileged user mode! I've got a few boards from one - possibly enough
to make up one (if they work!). But even inside
DEC, most of them were upgraded.
That says a lot for it doesn't it! I'll let everyone know next week what
state the machine is in once I get it back to Witchy Towers.
cheers
