You might also want to sign up for the free DECUS...er..Encompass
membership at
http://www.encompassus.org/ . After signing up, you'll be
able to order a Hobbiest version of OpenVMS from
http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/index.html on CDs... of course, if you
can't find a bootable CDROM drive like a RRD5x, or don't have SCSI, that
might not help you too much I guess.
