I suppose I ought to get downloading simh/VAX huh?
You need VMS CD's, you can get the VAX Hobbyist CD from Montagar.
Then you
need the License PAK's that you get from them as well.
Could I get these more cheaply online somewhere. I am currently
uneremployed
and can't make ends meet as it is. I doubt if my wife will spring for
the
$30 VMS takes. If I remember the vax 11/780 I used to op had only about
a
400mb hard drive. How much do I need for a vms system?
Hmm Layered products, C compiler? Pascal Compiler? what was most
software
for the VAX written in? What other stuff makes for a usefull system?
