Retrocomputing with a VAMP stack: VAX, Apache, MySQL & PHP
What to do with a VAX workstation, based on an architecture first
released by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1977 and finally closed
out by Compaq at the end of the last millennium?
The obvious option would be to dig out an ancient copy of VMS, or
maybe an early UNIX tape, but what then? Could it run the latest
Apache or screen, and how will I be able to connect it to a native
IPv6 network (when we finally get there :) ?
As an alternative, lets see if a current OS and software can run on a
machine with an architecture older than some of the *parents* of
modern developers...
