interested in the version of BSD out there, already have enough Unix boxen. The main thing I'm missing, besides getting VMS itself are drives. This system is in the BA123 enclosure and has a TK50 tape drive. It contains the following boards: M7606-AC CPU M7608-BP Memory M7608-BP Memory M7546 Tape controller (TK50) M7516 DELQA (eithernet) M7516 DELQA (eithernet)... machine was likely used as a router. M3104 16port serial M9058 Disk breakout board (used for going from RQDX3 controller to MFMdisks and floppies) recommend? What are my options for getting VMS for this? Any other help or comments appreciated. Ok, what you need is either a RQDX3 (M7555 hard disk controller board and a few RD54s or a SCSI card like the CMD200 and RZ56(680mb). The problem is SCSI controllers generally don't go cheap. Ideally to run VMS7.2 you need 300mb of disk(s) however smaller is possible. The SCSI board is convenient as it will allow for a CDrom needed to install from hobbiest CD. Other wise RRD40 and controller will be needed or someone that can cut TK50s from the CD. There is a hobbiest VMS license and even media available (www.decus.org). I happen to run one of these and they are fine systems for 1987 technology. Allison
