No converters,
in the vms only box I've 2 original dec branded disks ( rz2cc-kb , 4gb disk )
in the other I swapped out one of them to put a normal scsi 68 hd for tru64. I think an
Atlas, 36 or 72gb
Added a dvd and a floppy unit in each, too.
Each has standard a 2nd dec network card ( 10mb + coax ) , PBXGB-AA, 2nd dec scsi
controller. One has a 3rd 10/100 dec network card

I've got two, the first being an 3000/400 64mb with two 146 gb SCSI-320 drives
running on converters, one with openBSD 6 and the other with openvms 8.4 running headless.
I doubt I'll ever be able to find the monitor, much less the needed cables and
keyboard/mouse to turn it into the desktop it was supposed to be, so I've got a color
turbochannel framebuffer if anyone has any use for it. The second is an alphaserver ds10l
with the 617mhz EV67 processor, 1.5 gb ram and a radeon video card on the sole pci port,
which runs openvms 8.4 on one hard drive and the most recent available version of
unsupported debian linux on the other (I think it's sid?) as a workstation.
Nekochan.net is a fair resource for hobbyist knowledge, possibly the only place online
where people are still futzing about with Tru64.
comp.os.vms on usenet (or the info-vax email gateway) is where all of the latest news and
deep tech discussion goes on.
vcfed.org has a very healthy DEC forum too.
What are the drives and converters are you using?
