That sounds good. BTW, where do I go to get the VMS hobbyist license

Things recently (last few months) changed and the OpenVMS Hobbyist
licenses are now handled by the HPE office in India. The URL for the
application is <https://www.hpe.com/h41268/live/index_e.aspx?qid=24548>
When you choose a chapter for "Participating Chapter" choose
"DECUSERVE" if you don't belong to one. Then telnet (no SSH) to
eisner.decuserve.com where you will get a login page and choose the
"REGISTRATION" option. This will get you a DECUS member number that
you can supply for the hobbyist license. Once you are logged into the
system you can find your membership number by typing the command
"HOBBYIST"
Once you get your reply from HPE then you can also reply to that email
and ask for the FTP credentials to download a VMS 7.3 VAX install disk
image or Alpha or IA64 for that matter - just ask for all that you want.
Remember that when you apply it is going to India so plan for the
timezone and weekend change accordingly.

Thanks, I telneted into eisner and used my DECUS number from 2002. I
entered that in the www.hpe.com webpage, and am waiting for a response.
Back in 2002 I got the VMS 7.2 media, PAKS and layered products, but a
lot has changed since then. I can't find my media, but maybe I don't
need it.
At this point I am awaiting the SCSI2SD adapter to use in the MVII. I
also have a MV 4000/400 I need to get current license PAKS for.
