The operating system and associated products (DECnet,TCPIP,CLustering,
Shadowing, Java, etc) come on one DVD called the OpenVMS for Integrity
Operating Environment. Everything else (compilers, DECset, DECforms,
etc) comes on the Layered Product DVD. Documentation is also
available on 2 CDs. One corresponding to each of the DVDs.
So all the software is on two DVDs? (I realise that DVDs have quite a
bit more capacity than CDs and doing the sums it looks like 2 DVDs
should easily hold the contents of the old CD distributions, but you
neve know.) This would make installing and upgrading Itanium easier.
Are there any good hobbyist machines for Itanium? I define good in this
context to mean cheap or free, capable of running the latest version of
VMS and all versions for a few years to come, not too big, not too loud,
not too power-hungry, at least as fast as an EV6 Alpha.
I'll be travelling to several countries in Europe in the next few
months. I'm glad to give any good hobbyist Itanium machines a good
home. I think I have all the other hardware I need, but I could use a
couple of BA353 expansion boxes ("pizza box") and small EV6 or faster
ALPHAs. LCD monitors which work with VMS would also be appreciated.
Where are you these days Philip? I may have a BA353 but it's in
Stockport, UK.
