I think the machine has some historical interest. Barbara Liskov's CLU
group received a number of VS100 terminals for their VAX. This prompted
Bob Scheifler to create X. CLU even

Hopefully a few of the DEC/VMS fans here might be able to help!
I'm on a bit of a quest. I've been given some old VAX/VMS software -- a
cross compiler and some source code -- that I'd like to get running. My
goal is to get the source code building and experiment with the compiler
a bit.

Hi Phil
I'm not sure if it helps, but I documented installing OpenVMS on a

Find a working vms system and back up the drives to your
externally-attached drive (s) to clone them. Migrate the cloned drives to
your system. This is a simplified statement of what's really involved but
if you can get to a similar system to your dec whatever you have, I'd

I think I was running OpenVMS VAX V7.2 on SIMH. IIRC it was fixed in
V7.3 (someone sent me the DECUS Hobbyist V7.3 release and that was OK).

Hello,
The person that refered me to my present job at a datacenter passed away
this past monday. He was a hardware / software engineer for modcomp
computers. He left me all of the computers and documents. there are too
many books to keep, stuff concerning the modcomp computers that is not
saved
Where are you located? We have a small amount of Modcomp docs here and
could take on a box more of the most useful paper docs for posterity-sake,
to round out what's already here.
Thanks

AFAIK, I have an entire library of MODCOMP documentation - consisting of over
one thousand manuals as PDF's. I will check with the person who had the
original manuals scanned and check to see if it is O.K. to zip them up and give
them to AL to post on bitsavers. (I expect them to say "O.K.").

Thank you all for the information. I would like to preserve the information
and get the books to good homes if possible. I will get a listing of what
is here. If the others that have modcomp books and docs can list what they
have scanned and availible, that can save on a duplication of effort

I sit correct
I now have a 4-plane color graphics card for my VAXstation 2000, and I'd like
to actually connect it to a display.
Does anyone have a DEC BC19S cable that needs a good home? For reference, this
has a DA15F connector on one end that plugs into the VAXstation, which leads to
a box that screws int
