That, I want! :-) Of course, I don't have a huge amount of memory in
the VAX, so perhaps I'd be better off just staying with what I have.
While I've joined DECUS, I've not ordered the OpenVMS CD-ROM yet since
I have no way of reading the CD-ROM since I don't have a SCSI card in
my VAX; I'm going to have to find a VAXstation to use for reading a
CD-ROM and then figure out how to get the files from the VAXstation to
the VAX (can I do this over DECnet?). Also, I should get a tape drive
installed as well for backups, as this VAX is missing both a tape
drive and the mounting hardware for the tape drive... the drive itself
is no problem, as I have one of those; just need to find the TKQ50 and
the mounting hardware.
