I've just purchased a small Itanium server, a HP RX2600. I see that it
will run Windows Server, Linux, and best of all - OpenVMS.
Since there isn't a hobby distribution for 8.3-x (both OS and Layered
Products), will someone with the current media who is willing to share
please contact me off-list? I will gladly provide media and pay
postage, etc.
I am a LONG time member of DECUS, and later Encompass and a member on
the hobbyist site. I joined DECUS in 1981 when I was working with
PDP-11's. I've been working with VAXen since 1983, and more recently
Alpha's. This Itanium will be a new and welcome (I hope) experience
for me.
I miss VAX assembler, it was like programming in a high-level language
compared to anything else I've worked with.
Thanks in advance,
