Hi, I got some VAXen 6420, big machines. Mine has 6 CPUs. I was planning to boot myself with Ultrix, and then go on with NetBSD. Even NetBSD's port-vax needs some tweaking for my hardware, XMI and BI bus support is blank. I am with FreeBSD forever and FreeBSD has SMP which NetBSD has not. I want to run all of my 6 CPUs not just one. So, I am thinking about taking the Alpha port and reverse hacking it into a VAX port with lots of cheating with the NetBSD code. I was just wondering if there are any retro computing freaks with FreeBSD who like to play with this too. If I'm alone I probably better stay with the nice port-vax crowd and NetBSD. cheers, -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow@regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistent Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
