VAX/VMS V5.5-2 Memory Requirements - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

30 Aug 2000

Run with 8mb, at 4mb it's going to be slow!  If the VR260 is out use a
terminal
line, you can still run DECwindows later (or not).

Since it's a II/RC backplane space is an issue :^)  Thanks for the info.
I'll probably try it with a 4MB board as I'm trying to run with as minimal

 of a configuration as possible so I can play with
system tuning on this
system.  Of course all this depends on getting the VR260 back up and
running.
