It seems to me it might be worthwhile for us to get more info on the scope of the project, its terms, and to see if we can collectively contribute to it. We'd all benefit from having better access to old DEC documentation. -brian. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2000 16:33:44 -0500 (EST) >From: quayle at infinet.com Reply-To: linux-vax at mithra.physics.montana.edu To: linux-vax at mithra.physics.montana.edu Subject: RE: VS3100m76 ethernet problem > > I took out the Owners manual that I forgot to send you, but it > > states that 0000.0001 is normal, and if the last digit is anything > > else it should/could still work normaly.

You might contact them (denton at dsserv.com or wisniewski at dwlug.decus.org) to see if they'd like to copy your manuals. You get a free copy of everything they've scanned when they finish.

Can someone tell me what Unices this will run? It has no media other than the disks (it has, I think, RT-11), but I've read about people getting stuff into things down a serial line -- how practical is that?
