VMS setup - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

30 Jul 2001

Besides the various 3xxx and 4xxx series machines mentioned a
MicroVax2000
is also a possible machine and by far one of the smallest.  It will run
V5.4 and
if you tailor it V7.2 (disk space is limited to a MFM rd54 of some
159mb).

Versions of VMS out there worth considering V5.4, 6.2 and 7.2 are common.

 I'm looking around for a VMS setup at the moment,
but space is tight(as
always!). Can anyone offer suggestions for a smallish (desktop/under desk)
...
 machine that's suitable for running VMS on? My only
experience with VMS is
...
 10+ years ago, version 4.something I think. It ran on
an 11/780 cluster,
kind of out of my league :-) Any suggestions, pointers to websites etc?

TIA
Al.
