Installed VMS on the Alpha I got the other week. Install was straight forward, except for some problems I had with the SRM boot_osflags variable (for VMS it should be “0,0″ and not the default of “A”, which I think is for Tru64).
Does anyone know who I can contact at HP to get Tru64 (for Alpha) non-commercial media and a license? There was at one point a non-commercial program, but it seems to have ended. There are rumors that if you email the right person, they’ll send you media and a licenses.
Does anyone have an AT case that I can have? I have an old 486 that needs a new case, and it’s fairly hard finding old AT cases that don’t cost an arm and a leg.
My car muffler is now held on to the car by a length of Cat 5e and now part of a coat hanger.
This rain has to end.
If anyone wants a lid from a SPARCstation 5, Aurora 2 chassis (Note the version 2, it has the cutout for the larger style cd-rom drive), send me a message.
I got a free SPARCstation 5 from smed on #ruslug and the cover was from the wrong chassis It’s funny how I recognized that it was from the newer style chassis right away. Anyway, I got a “new” lid for the Aurora 1 style chassis, so I don’t need this one.
Just have to get something off my chest.
Why does the Senior Design Capstone Project make me want to drive into a utility pole? I don’t think I felt that way about the Software Engineering project.
Anyway, go back to whatever you were doing.

This got a good chuckle out of me.
Speaking of HP, I installed VMS on my VAX this weekend. Still have no clue how to use it.
Took the General Element 2 exam today, since they got rid of the Morse Code Element 1 yesterday. Passed, which is a good thing since I’ve been studying for it (randomly) since like 2003.
Congratulations to Marla and John for passing their Tech exam.
Update: If anyone would like to study for their General, I have the Fourth and Fifth Edition of the ARRL General Class License Exam Study Guide.
