One question. Where on earth did you get V5.5-2H4?
I'm not 100% sure you
can even get V5.5-2 out of the Hobbyist V1 CD (if you're lucky enough to
have it). At the moment I've got one VAXstation 3100 on V5.5, but want to
replace it with a VAXstation 4000/60 running V5.5-2 (or V5.5-2H4 if
possible). Isn't V5.5-2H4 the Y2k update?
I've got a pair of TK50's that have the 5.5-2H4 release on them. Not sure
where they came from.
As for V4.x which is supported on a wider range of
processors (including,
IIRC, some 3100's) the trick is getting it.
I've got several versions of 4.x on TK50.
Something else to consider. If you're running a
MicroVAX II then V7.2 is
where you stop. With a VAX-11/725 you stop at V5.1 (or maybe V5.1-1, with
the rest of the VAX-11/7xx family, the VAXft family and the MicroVAX I you
stop at V6.2. It appears that V7.3 won't be the final stopping point for
any systems, at least I've been unable to find such information in the V7.3
SPD.
That is very good info. If I ever get a MicroVAX I for da House I'll put
6.2 on it.
