Nice catch, most people get the VAX and don't get the SCSI card :-) If its a "well known" SCSI card then you are set and can do many interesting things with your VAX. Even if it is less well known you are probably ok. First thing to do is identify what is in your VAX, to do that you need to make a list of the module numbers on the boards and note carefully where they are connected. Then you need to figure out what kind of chassis your VAX is in so that folks like me can help in getting you bits like the console bulkhead that will work in your chassis. Several operating systems work on it, Ultrix, NetBSD, VMS, BSD 4.3. Some are easier to get running than others... VMS certainly has the most languages available for it, and NetBSD the most applications. Check out the House of VAX at <http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/computers/vaxen> for information on what all the symbols on the console bulkhead mean. --Chuck At 03:54 AM 6/3/01 -0700, you wrote:
