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
