Not on a bet. VMS source would be HUGE, if it were a four disk set it
would have to be LS120 or ZIP disks to hold it. Likely same for NT.

New subject: HP 9825 emulation wanted
Hmm, has anybody started a business emulating old machines yet?

I have some test equipments controlled via the HPIB using HP9825's. There
are many programs written in HPL, all them in these
"little cartridges". Every day is worse to have these machine running. I
would like replace the HP9825 by new PC emulating the
9825. Is there a posibility to change the HPL programs to another language
(in an easy way) or is there an emulator of the 9825 or
a program in Windows that can understand the HPL language and execute it?
Of course in all the cases I will need an special card
to support the IEEE bus; I will thank any suggestion.

I haven't seen a V7.x VMS source kit, but the V6.1 kit that I have comes on
2 CDs which are pretty much full. Makes interesting reading on cold wintery
nights...
Interestingly the licence you sign before gaining access to the source CDs
says something along the lines of "I promise never to sell/give/other these
CDs away".
