Who was looking for old VMS for an 11/750??

Cool. So you have an 11/750. I'm curious, what did you do about powering it? I heard they require three-phase 240V power. best john -----Original Message----- From: Brian Hechinger Sent: Sat 9/14/2002 1:32 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Cc: Subject: Re: Who was looking for old VMS for an 11/750??

Additional components, such as DECnet for OpenVMS VAX, DIGITAL TCP/IP Services, or VAXcluster, require more memory to ensure satisfactory performance. * The MA780 shared memory is not supported. * You cannot install or upgrade to the OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2 operating system on the following VAX computers and system disks: Computers: MicroVAX I, VAXstation I, VAXstation 8000, VAX--11/725, and VAX--11/782 System disks: RK07, RL02, RC25, RD32, RD51, RD52, RD53, RZ22, RZ25, and RZ23L so the answer is, with enough memory, and the right disks, yes you can. however, the reasons for running pre-7.2 are usually nostalgic. i run 7.2 on all my machines, but only because i'm new to VMS and don't need the added confusion of multiple versions. plus there is the fact that i have all my VAXen clustered, so they all need to be about the same version. for nostalgia, i have an 11/750 that has 4.3 BSD on it since that was where i had my first unix account in college. -brian -- "Oh, shut up Buddha." -Jesus Christ (South Park)
