What do I have to do if I want to use FSX under Debian/Ubuntu Linux?

May I ask if you would swap it for another board? I'm looking e.g. for a DAP (M8390) for my VAX-11/725 or an RL11 (M7762)

Ahem, only 1.5 years - I often confuse dates (I took your "joined" date for the date of your request)

Well, do you still want the 2920-Z2B board? I've got one - It's been nearly 14 years that you asked ...

Forgot to add the pages ...

Here are the three page about the VAXSTATION 520 from the: VAX PDP-11 Systems and Options Catalogue European Edition Autumn 1985 Congratulations! Ulli

You've obviously got the "VS5XB VS500 GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM", which is the graphics part of a VAXSTATION 500 (if paired with a MicroVAX I) or of a VAXSTATION 520 (if paired with a MicroVAX II). Both models seem to bee very rare. I let you know when I found out more. Ulli

Who knows how to access a Professional 350/380 (RSX-11) disk from VAX/VMS?

The cabinets in the background are probably part of the VAX 8600 setup I think. I did not have a closer look back then, because I was busy to get my VAX-11/750 (rather one 80% complete VAX-11/750 and two rather desolate and almost empty 750s) out of there. These are two of them on my horse...

I wish I had one, but I haven't (yet) ... Have you got a plan what to do with yours? I'd like to use it for DDCMP synchronous serial networking, e.g. in conjunction with my DSV11 (operational in a MicroVAX 3300) or my DMC11 (untested, planned for usage in my VAX-11/750 (still under...

Has any one got the EK-DEMSA-RM-001 DEMSA MicroServer Manual (or any other revision)? There are two links on Manx, but both are broken, and Google doesn't know either ... And if anyone had a MicroServer to spare in Europe? Postage from the other continents would be rather expensive. Ulli

Still interested in the DECnet End Node key and other MicroVMS Software? I can help!

The MULTI-TREK/VAX game is available again now! You find the complete kit (VMS V3.0, FORTRAN V2.4, MTREK Sources & MTREK compiled & linked programs & MTREK manual) here.

DECnet Rainbow seems to be available here: https://oldcomputers.dyndns.org/public/pub/mirror/os2site/sw/dec/rainbow/msdos/decnet/index.html And I found a helpful manual (more than the title promises) in my collection:

I'm not a Rainbow specialist, but I know there's "DECnet DOS" (e.g. here). As I'm experienced with VAX/VMS I know that DECnet over serial lines was rather common from VMS V4.0 onwards, sometimes called "Poor Man's DECnet", because you do not need an expensive Ethernet Adapter. So if there's a...
