The List!

Hi all, Hope nobody minds this rather large posting, but I thought it'd provide the relevant info to plug a gap in the list. Please excuse my poor manners for not formally introducing myself - I'm sure someone will be delighted to forcefully point out to me the list's correct etiquette! On Thu, 1 May 1997, Bill Whitson wrote: Okay, just to do a spot of plagiarism :), here's a (reasonably) complete list of DEC's VMS related stuff (about half of the VAXen could also run Ultrix of one sort or another) The Alphas should probably be left off, as they can hardly be classed as `classic', but I've left them there for completeness. This obviously misses out the entire PDP range, which many people claim are much more interesting! :) Chris.

The information given has the top byte of the SID in hex (containing the CPU type), subtype (XCPU or SYSTYPE), processor ID, approximate speed (relative to a VAX-11/780, in VUPS for most machines, and SPECmark89 (S) for later workstations and Alphas), main I/O bus type (U=UNIBUS, M=MASSBUS, C=CI, Q=QBUS, B=BI, D=DSSI, X=XMI, T=Turbochannel, F=Futurebus+, S=SCSI, E=EISA), model names, and nickname. For AXPs, the ID is replaced by the clock speed in MHz. Information is from publicly available sources such as DEC brochures and press releases, together with the description of SYS$GETSYI in the VMS documentation, and from $PRDEF, $VAXDEF, and $ALPHADEF in the system macro library. This is supplemented with information from USENET group comp.os.vms. Current models are marked by a leading `*'. This list is not an official publication of Laser-Scan - ask DEC if you want confirmed figures! In the fast changing world of computer hardware, its probably out of date when written. However, please let me know of any inaccuracies or omissions. --- Paul Hardy (PGH), Chief Programmer, Laser-Scan Ltd, Science Park, Milton Rd, CAMBRIDGE, CB4 4FY, England.
