    Hi... looking for media of VAX Ultrix 4.1 and VMS 6.0 .. specifically those versions.

    I had the media at some point in the past... Can't put my fingers on it since a house move a year or so ago...

    VAX and CD ISO would be awesome. Tape image cool also.

    There is a VMS 6.0 TK50 image at VAXHaven. It doesn't specify if it's VAX or Alpha though. I'm thinking it has to be VAX because I don't think Alpha switched to the V6 numbering until V6.1

    Hi,

    Thanks - I saw that tape. It's VAX alright but it's tape 2/2. It boots but doesn't have the VMS install save sets. Here's the contents:

    Oh, duh. Sorry. I thought of that but for some reason didn't figure that Ian would post just half of an install kit. I thought the zip might have both sets.


    Too bad you don't need VAX V6.1 or V6.2 I have CD's for those. No V6.0 though.

    I'm glad you did. I never had the chance to get the original Montegar Hobbyist CD. I also grabbed as many patches as I could when we had warning that HP was closing off access, but I don't know if I got them all and I concentrated on newer releases
    such as VAX 7.3 and Alpha 7.3, 7.3-1, and some V8.x ones.

    Tony - that's fab thanks. That first ISO has the 6.0 installation in which is exactly what I was after. The patches are a bonus too, I never had those.

    Just the elusive Ultrix 4.1 to track down now!

    cheers

    This too is still on the OpenVMS Hobbyist web site at

    http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/~patj/vbegin.htm

    but I thought it worth preserving as a PDF file too.

    It's Pat Jankowiak's original "How to Build a New VAX/VMS System with Little or No Prior Experience" for use with the VAX/VMS Hobbyist Kit V1 (converted from HTML to PDF)
