Hi Chuck and all,

Sorry for the belated reply. I got sidetracked with some other activity and
just getting back to my VaxServer 3100.
Thanks for the excellent help - The hardware works fine now and I was able
to boot the system, by TYPING: BOOT (not sure where I got that from :-) )
and the machine responded with the following:

"VAX/VMS Version V5.5.2"
and went into a long series of startup procedures and finally ends with the
following:

"Message from user Queue_Manage on WMPF05
-Qman-1-Freedisk, Free up 264 blocks on disk _WMPF05$DKA300
% Qman-E-NODISKSPACE, Disk space not available for Que Manager to continue"

bearing in mind that this has 3 hard drives and a "tape" drive (there is no
tape in the drive). I also found that this has 8MB RAM.
For the sake of fiddling around some more and learn a little bit, I would
like to know what the above means and how to correct it.
In the long run, I really want to run the freeware version of OpenVMS which
comes on CD-ROM. Of course I would like to upgrade the hard drive, memory
and add a CD-ROM.
I am looking for pointers, suggestions and ideas on how to effect these
upgrade. Any special kind of CD-ROM, or what type of memory and hard drive?
I am very excited at this point, Never thought I would be actually using a
VAX machine and interacting with it!!
