  • VAX 4000 V96-2.3—10 Feb 1997
    TM VAX 4000 V96-2.3—10 Feb 1997 DIGITAL Systems and Options Catalog Product Description VAX 4000 systems provide commercial systems performance, high availability, and a compact footprint. They support a wide range of applications and options, including FDDI networks and Q-bus peripherals. System enclosure supports internal storage and Q-bus expansion through a B400X expansion cabinet. VAX 4000 systems come in three packages: Desktop Model 106A, Desktop/Deskside Model 108, and Pedestal/Deskside Model 505A/705A DSSI and Ethernet adapter chips—each driven by a 10-MIP on-chip RISC processor—are tightly integrated on the CPU module with direct access to memory. Digital's DSSI to SCSI HSD10 storage solutions replace DSSI RF36 disk technology in all VAX 4000 systems. Digital’s HSD10 DSSI-to-SCSI controller. mounted internally in system cabinet, supports standard RZxx SCSI storage on VAX 4000 systems while still supporting DSSI clustering. External StorageWorks HSD10 controllers are supported. VAX 4000 Model 106A offers performance of 10-ns NVAX chip. Systems achieve 215 transactions per second (TPS). With internal support for the HSD10, DSSI-to-SCSI controller, VAX 4000 customers can take advantage of low-cost, more flexible and open StorageWorks solutions. VAX 4000 Model 108 offers identical performance, is compatible with Model 106A, but is housed in a new Desktop/Deskside minitower enclosure. In addition, these systems offer enchancements in the memory and storage capacity, supporting up to 512 MB of standard SIMM memory and six storage devices in the system enclosure. VAX 4000 Model 505A and 705A offer 12 ns and 9 ns performance, respectively in a Q-bus Pedestal package.

They are designed to replace MicroVAX II; VAXserver, VAXstation, and MicroVAX models 3600 and 3900; VAX 3100-96; VAX 4000-106; and VAXstation 4000-90 systems by their virtual equivalents running on an x86-64 compatible standard LICENSE PROTECTION computer system. Charon-VAX creates a virtual replica of the original A valid license should be permanently available to Charon in the form DEC VAX hardware, allowing the VAX/VMS operating system and all of a local or network attached USB HASP license dongle, or a software running in that environment to continue to work as before in Software License. The license contains customer specific parameters their existing, binary form. No or only minimal configuration changes and allows remote electronic updates. USB dongles enable a rapid to the original software (operating system, layered products, and switch-over to another host system as the Charon executable itself applications), operational procedures, and management are required. can be installed on multiple systems for disaster recovery purposes. Flexible licensing options allow combining multiple instances of NETWORK different Charon products on a single host system. Charon-VAX virtualizes the Ethernet controllers present in the original VAX hardware. Any protocol supported on these controllers DISTRIBUTION (DECnet, TCP/IP, LAT) will work on the virtualized network link.

  • VAX VMS at 20
    1977–1997... and beyond Nothing Stops It! Of all the winning attributes of the OpenVMS operating system, perhaps its key success factor is its evolutionary spirit. Some would say OpenVMS was revolutionary. But I would prefer to call it evolutionary because its transition has been peaceful and constructive. Over a 20-year period, OpenVMS has experienced evolution in five arenas. First, it evolved from a system running on some 20 printed circuit boards to a single chip. Second, it evolved from being proprietary to open. Third, it evolved from running on CISC-based VAX to RISC-based Alpha systems. Fourth, VMS evolved from being primarily a technical oper- ating system, to a commercial operat- ing system, to a high availability mission-critical commercial operating system. And fifth, VMS evolved from time-sharing to a workstation environment, to a client/server computing style environment. The hardware has experienced a similar evolution. Just as the 16-bit PDP systems laid the groundwork for the VAX platform, VAX laid the groundwork for Alpha—the industry’s leading 64-bit systems. While the platforms have grown and changed, the success continues. Today, OpenVMS is the most flexible and adaptable operating system on the planet. What start- ed out as the concept of ‘Starlet’ in 1975 is moving into ‘Galaxy’ for the 21st century. And like the universe, there is no end in sight. —Jesse Lipcon Vice President of UNIX and OpenVMS Systems Business Unit TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I Changing the Face of Computing 4 CHAPTER II Setting the Stage 6 CHAPTER

  • The Computer History Simulation Project
    The Computer History Simulation Project The Computer History Simulation Project The Computer History Simulation Project is a loose Internet-based collective of people interested in restoring historically significant computer hardware and software systems by simulation. The goal of the project is to create highly portable system simulators and to publish them as freeware on the Internet, with freely available copies of significant or representative software. Simulators SIMH is a highly portable, multi-system simulator. ● Download the latest sources for SIMH (V3.5-1 updated 15-Oct-2005 - see change log). ● Download a zip file containing Windows executables for all the SIMH simulators. The VAX and PDP-11 are compiled without Ethernet support. Versions with Ethernet support are available here. If you download the executables, you should download the source archive as well, as it contains the documentation and other supporting files. ● If your host system is Alpha/VMS, and you want Ethernet support, you need to download the VMS Pcap library and execlet here. SIMH implements simulators for: ● Data General Nova, Eclipse ● Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1, PDP-4, PDP-7, PDP-8, PDP-9, PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP- 15, VAX ● GRI Corporation GRI-909 ● IBM 1401, 1620, 1130, System 3 ● Interdata (Perkin-Elmer) 16b and 32b systems ● Hewlett-Packard 2116, 2100, 21MX ● Honeywell H316/H516 ● MITS Altair 8800, with both 8080 and Z80 ● Royal-Mcbee LGP-30, LGP-21 ● Scientific Data Systems SDS 940 Also available is a collection of tools for manipulating simulator file formats and for cross- assembling code for the PDP-1, PDP-7, PDP-8, and PDP-11.
