Unfortunately, I don't like VMS (duck and
cover)...
Boo hiss 8-)
NetBSD is slowly
getting there, but there wasn't any support for the console port the
last time I looked. I have Ultrix 3.1, but before I figure out
how to attach the TK50 drive, I wonder if it will run... I'm still
looking for the Ultrix Window System 3.1 (or 3.0) though... I'm willing
to trade VMS license PAKs (real ones) for a variety of layered products
for a UWS 3.0/3.1 license and TK50.
Besides, I like running apropriate OSs on old machines...
I just picked up an external SCSI TK50 unit in case with power supply.
As is --- anyone interested in it drop me a line at pechter(a)monmouth.com
before it ends up on E-Bay. I've got other scsi tapes and I'm going
to be loading VMS from CD so I don't need it.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.

BTW, I just finished get NetBSD netbooted onto the machine... I pulled
the 8 plane board, and wiggled the memory board, and the memory error
went away... More playing is necessary...
THanks,
