I'm not sure you'll be able to even run V5.5-4Hx (I think that's the high
mark
for V5.5 and I'm not sure what the 'x' was), and I'm pretty sure you
can't
run plain V5.5. You might need to go with V6.0 in order to have VMS support
your hardware. If you can get someone to build you tapes, I'd recommend
getting V7.2 or V7.3 instead of earlier versions if you can, as all the doc's
are available online.
You might also want to sign up for the free DECUS...er..Encompass
membership at
http://www.encompassus.org/ . After signing up, you'll be
able to order a Hobbiest version of OpenVMS from
http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/index.html on CDs... of course, if you
can't find a bootable CDROM drive like a RRD5x, or don't have SCSI, that
might not help you too much I guess.
