MicroVAX 3100/20e...I couldn't get it to boot,
except into Standalone BACKUP
mode. When the box boots, it reports that it's finding the tape drive,
DKA300, and DKB200.
I tried Eric's suggestion, but no luck. My guess is that I need to get
the OS on TK50 tapes and find out whether the 2nd disk is even alive, but
I have no idea where to get VMS on tape. I've been playing with intel
hardware for years, but this is the first time I've ever experimented with
VMS.
I don't know where to get VMS on a TK50 at a reasonable
price, but if you have a CDROM drive you can order the
OpenVMS Hobbyist CD Media from www.montagar.com/hobbyist/.
