I am pleased to announce that we at LSSM have just gotten our VAX-11/780 up and running!
Now we have to clean up the debugging and repair mess, clean up the cabling, arrange for a permanent system disk, etc, then we will declare it an "operational exhibit". Once that's done, it will be on HECnet whenever it's up and running.
Of course all are welcome to come to LSSM in person and run the machine. (feel the rumble in the floor, etc)
Very cool Dave. Standard power supplies? Need a CI interface for it?
Thanks Mike! Yes, standard power supplies. Three of the four needed work, but the fourth was ok. We couldn't have gotten all the way there if you hadn't supplied the WCS files that we needed. Thank you again for that. Yes, we would very much like a CI for it. We have a cluster running and would love to add this machine. I was just pondering late last night "now where the heck are we going to find a CI780??" Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
