Okay, okay, so a DECstation 5000/125 isn't very "vintage". But I did
manage
to save one from certain death from my grad school (Carnegie Mellon), and it
has a nice big 21" monitor, two big 5 1/4" SCSI drives (each around 1/2 a
GB)... and no bootable OS.
It used to run Mach (I was on the Mach project at CMU), but I'd really like
to run VMS on the thing.
Does anyone know how/where/if I can get VMS loaded onto this guy?
Thanks all,
- Joe
Decstations can't run VMS. They're MIPS machines, and VMS only runs on
VAX and
Alpha. You CAN run Ultrix on it and have a fine bsd-ish unix workstation. You
might also look at freebsd, as I have this vague memory that there was a
Decstation port.
