Hello all:
Take a moment to visit this place, please:

I did it, downloaded it, installed it in one Pentium III, one
Pentium IV and under Bochs. Works. In the Pentium IV case,
I can access the NTFS partition.
Cheers

Seems that this is a compiled version, not a real Msoft version although
the
bits and pieces are all original Msoft bits. Not sure that it's for older
machines though.
Thanks for the link. It's amazing that Gates hasn't shut this down.

Yeah, I'm wondering on how old of a machine it will run on. I have a
Cardinal 386 all-in-one (yep, it looks like a Mac SE/30, just a little
bigger) computer sitting around looking for a purpose...

Seems rather trojany to me (especially with the self-describing "Hot!"
labels next to each link). I don't download any software no matter how
cool it sounds unless it's from a trusted source.

New subject: Anyone have a spare RX23?
A friend called recently and said he was going through some computer stuff
and found a number of drive enclosures -- did I want any? Since I never
seem to have enough to accomodate all of the small machines I've patched
drives into, I said "sure." When it arrived I was delighted to find that
the enclosure was a TK50Z-FA with a couple of disreputable-looking 5.25"
diskette drives in it. I yanked the drives and installed two known-good
5.25" DSDDs and now it's attached to my TS2068 so all is well.
This reminded me that my VAXstation 3100 m76 is still lacking a diskette
drive. Does anyone on the list have one they'd care to sell me?
TIA,
Glen

I'm curious. Why on earth do you need a floppy drive on a VAX? I've
never used a floppy drive on a VMS system. I either use tape,
network, CD, or hard drive to transfer data between systems.

We had an RUX50 on our 11/750 at Software Results (I still have it) because
we needed to send our product to our customers with MicroVAX-IIs who didn't
have TK50. I'll admit that today, ethernet interfaces are plentiful, as
are tape drives, but some of my own machines are limited to floppy or
serial port (i.e., Kermit).
The VAXstation 3100, though, should have a network interface.
Perhaps it's like when I got my first SPARCstation, ten years ago... it
didn't come with a floppy drive, so I bought one - with shipping I think
it cost about 10% of what I paid for the workstation. I think I used it
twice. :-( Now, of course, they cost a lot more to ship than they cost
to aquire. I have several in a box. At the time, however, my *other*
machines didn't all have network interfaces. I've since corrected _that_.

The VAXstation *does* have a network interface, but I haven't gotten around
to using it yet. What I want to do is save some configuration files and
other small bits of information. Most of my classic computers are micros
and don't have networking capability (yet) so I just need a simple way to
stash a few files. I'm using the VAX station to learn VMS and want to be
prepared in case I hose things while learning.
