Hi:
If you don't know the password to the system account under VMS, this isn't
much of a problem. Contact me on email for the bypass procedure.

Finally got around to looking inside the MicroVax II I acquired. It's in
the short squat rolling enclosure (BA123?) and has the following boards

It has a drive apparently loaded with some version of VMS but I have to
put together a console cable to find out. Then of course, the big trick
will be the fact that I don't have VMS on tape or the passwords to the
machine itself. :( And I can't call the company that gave it to me
because several layers of red-tape were bypassed to get it to me for free.
Hmmm...a friend of mine says I should find a variant of Unix for it but I
used to be big into VAXen (at least on the user end) and having a VMS
machine amuses me.
NetBSD would be good for this machine. I run it on my Microvax II.
