Hi, I just rescued a Vax cluster, with two 4000/500 processors and a R400X enclosure with DSSI drives in it. I'm a newbie to VAXen, but ordered CDROM media for OpenVMS as a hobbiest. I also successfully fashioned a console cable. So far, if I boot from one disk, I get a $ prompt, but only with the "backup" command working, and if I boot from another I get tons of boot-up messages, but no console login prompt once the thing seems to be up. I'd like to find four DSSI terminators, so I can run one or the other processor, either with internal disks or the R400X, without having to have this set up as a cluster. I'm also looking for some other SCSI controller. The one in this system is the KZQSA, suitable for installing VMS from a CDROM, but incompatible with NetBSD, and apparently pathetically slow for SCSI hard drives under VMS. I have no idea where to find either of these items. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Mark -- Mark G.
