I may well be posting this in the wrong<br style="" class="">forum. If so, if someone would be so kind as to redirect me offline I<br style="" class="">would appreciate it.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">I have a uVAX 3900 I rescued about 10 years ago. It was headed for a<br style="" class="">dumpster. It has two 300 meg drives and 16M of RAM, one<br style="" class="">non-functional tape drive, and a qbus card I have a 10 meg network<br style="" class="">adapter plugged into.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">It had VMS v 5.something on it I believe at the time. Over the years<br style="" class="">I (inadvertently) mangled that installation trying to learn VMS and<br style=""
class="">ended up putting an instance of OpenBSD on it. I did this by running<br style="" class="">mopd on another unix box and booting the VAX over the network.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">I would like to install VMS on it again, but not sure how to get it<br style="" class="">there. The tape drive doesn't pull tape anymore.<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">I'm thinking you VMS experts know a way I can use my SIMH VAX VMS<br style="" class="">emulation to boot the real VAX from? I'm thinking it is possible to<br style="" class="">boot VMS this way, and/or do a VMS installation this way, correct?<br style="" class=""><br style="" class="">Again, I realize this isn't a purely SIMH post, so if more appropriate<br style="" class="">to contact me offline, please do. Any direct help or just pointers to<br style="" class="">an online resource would be much appreciated.<br style="" class=""><br style=""
