OK, I'm only running three MicroVAXIIs, 7
MicroVAX3100s (2 are m76)
and two
MicroVAX2000s. FOr OSs I run VMS5.2, 5.44, 7.3 and Ultrix32V4.2. I
currently
have 4 RD54s and 4 RD53s functional and a few SCSI drives. Maybe the
differnce
is my copy of 5.44 is is the DEC release from back then when I got the
machine
(MVII GPX) as part of the severence along with all the paks. With the
full
DECWindows plus Pathworks RD54 is pretty much full and that with swap
and page
on a separate disk.

I was careful not to select any options, wary about space, so I did not put
DECWindows on and I don't (think) I have Pathworks. I also do not have any
layered products on yet, but the most I plan to add is going to be either
VAX Pascal or VAX C and maybe FMS, I don't know how much space these are
going to take up. At the moment I am just happy that I have it basically
working.
Any details you have on reviving RD53s and RD54s would be very welcome.
