VMS Goodness

A couple days ago, I picked up a DEC Alphaserver 2100 from my work. It came complete with two DEC SCSI arrays filled with drives, a DEC terminal and the beast itself. Here's the kicker - still has the OS, VMS, on it! Can't wait to play with it more but I need to get the thing into my workshop first...it's hanging out in the garage. Moving it is no small feat either - it is larger than any other deskside I have (now up to 6...I have a problem)

I'm jealous. VMS is the one OS that I haven't used. Well, one of many OSes that I haven't used.

I used to have an Alphaserver 2100, it was a good box. Like you said it is a big box.

I would suggest taking a look at the OpenVMS hobbyist site. http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/news.php
