I've recently been searching for a VMS-capable machine or two in the
East Bay area of San Francisco, CA and have been directed to this
list. Besides catering to my interest in classic computing, I'm hoping
it will also have a few subscribers in my area (Livermore) with a VAX,
Alpha, or Itanium to get rid of cheap. If you have one, please drop me
a note off-list.
I guess I'll also need CDs or CD images of VMS for Alpha if I end up
getting one of those... I have VAX images but no Alpha.
Oh, one more thing--I have already run VMS on SIMH's VAX emulator,
thank you, but I'd like to try it on real hardware.
Thanks
John

Since you're in the SF Bay Area, you might want to join the Bay Area
Collector List: baccl "at" lists.baccl.net
It's a very low noise list - and there are likely folks on the list
with VAXes available for local pickup.
There is also a regular monthly "DEC Computer Lunch" (DCL) in
Mountain View. Folks participate in the DCL from Santa Cruz to the
East Bay. It's open to all DEC vintage computer lovers (and anyone
else who wants to participate in mostly "decspeak"). Contact me off
list for information on the DCL.
Regards,
Lyle

It's the second Saturday of the month, every month. You're welcome to
attend if you're ever out here - we've had out of town visitors before.

Well, I've had a LOT of responses to this, thanks everyone. I just
picked up an AlphaStation 250 4/266 that I'm hoping will work out for
me.
Anyone who has the CD images for VMS on Alpha, could you drop me a line?
Thanks

I thought you could get OpenVMS for free through the hobbyist license?

You can get the license for free, but for some reason HP has decided
not to provide downloads. You can buy hobbyist media for $30, but
that's way more than I've spent getting the system itself and I don't
want to wait for the thing to arrive, so I'm hoping somebody has it up
on FTP somewhere.
