I was refitting my BA123 with a CPU, 8Mb of PMI memory, my one-and- only DEQNA and an RQDX3 and stuffed into it a bootable RD54 from a VS2000 that happens to have VMS 5.5 and some stuff to fire up a LAT server and clustering. The startup bitched mightily about the presence of the DEQNA and casual reading of the error messages seemed to tell me that VMS 5.5 cluster manager did *not* like it one bit. Because the machine is standalone at the moment, I didn't pay much attention to it all. Eventually, I do need to get something working with Qbus and Ethernet (so I can begin to make physical backups of some 9 track tapes I have sitting here). I'll have to either stuff a KDA50 in this beast and use my MDA SDI<->ESDI box (dual 1.2Mb disks) or hang a couple of RD53s off the RQDX3 and limit myself to one or two tapes at a time before shooting them down the pipe.
