Re: RE : Convert DS20 from Tru64 to VMS
Hello, considering that the source system was a turbochannel box, its not strange. I have a similar machine. At the console, only one string of disks is visible to a sho dev command. _after booting_, the remianing 2 strings show up, and the controller lettering (ie dkA or dkB...) has changed. Turbo channel is wierdwhich may explain why PCI became the industry standard. regards, denny COLLOT Jean-Yves [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds strange that you see the boot disk and you don't see the other ones, even the CD drive.

I want to retire the old DEC 3000 Model 400. I thought that I could just copy the VMS files to a pair of larger disks, attach them to the DS20 (got it from a project that ended), change a few settings at the console, and boot. VMS runs but the SCSI devices that are visible from the console before booting are not visible from VMS (I cannot even see the CD-ROM drive, only the boot disk is visible). For the last few years, the other systems (Solaris, Linux, and Windows) have taken all my time and I have not done much on the VMS systems. I have forgotten too much and I am stuck. Could someone point me to a VMS/Alpha mailing list where I can get help? Yes, I tried Google but have not found anything useful. What I have seen leads me to think that this may be more difficult than I thought.
