The #OpenVMS 6 documentation is now placed on the shelf, next to the documentation for VAX/VMS 3, VMS 5, OpenVMS 7, and #ULTRIX 32. Still missing are VAX/VMS 1 and 2 (unlikely to ever find them) and VAX/VMS 4 (apart from the three folders I have). Of course, RT-11, RSX-11, and

And once again, my collection of DEC documentation is growing: now, a (probably) almost complete set of #OpenVMS 6 (for #VAX; OpenVMS for #AXP 1.5) documentation. The Programming series is complete, with a few books missing from the System Management and User series.

After only three decades of reshaping the tech world in completely opposite directions, Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates have finally met. Yes, that’s Dave Cutler the legendary engineer behind OpenVMS at Digital and Windows NT at Microsoft. And Marc Russinovich is Microsoft

OpenVMS 9.2 is meant to be run as a VM or on a couple specific HP servers, but I was able to get it to run "bare metal" on an HP Z240 workstation. It seems like as long as you have a UEFI BIOS, a real serial port at COM 1, and a LSI 1068E based RAID controller it'll install fine.

I had problems accessing a #DLT Tape and a TZ89N via Fibre Channel and a #Compaq Modular Data Router under #OpenVMS 7.3-2 a few day ago. But the access to the tape works fine under OpenVMS 8.4. I may have to take a closer look at the FibreChannel patches for OpenVMS 7.3-2 now.

It is a rare day. Rosenkrantz has been resetting to firmware so we bought another VAX 4000-60 to try sort it out and this one is the cleanest we've ever seen. #retrocomputing #vax #vms #openvms #vintagecomputing #community

I bought a VAX! As far as I know, it's actually the fastest VAX ever produced, the 4000-705A (before the Alpha, anyway). It uses the KA694 NMAX++ CPU, and I've ordered the maximum 4x128MB memory config to add to it. I spent the week waiting for it to arrive working in a VAX
