[mod.computers.vax] Micro Vax

Dear Readers!
 
We want to use our micro-VAX II for data assembly, recording and controlling.
Therefore we intend to use the 64bit parallel interface DRV11-J and the A/D-
D/A-interface ADX11-V. Both have no DMA and are designed for the Q-Bus
(LSI 11 only???, I don't hope so!).
 
Now we have problems in writing a device driver for these interfaces,
because we have no experience in doing this. If anybody has solved this problem
before (or is intending to do so) or is able to help us by any means, please
mail to:

Re: Space Left after Installing Micro VMS with Software
 
 
   Can't directly answer your question.  Is VMS a requirement.  Considering
the software that you are looking at, maybe you are best getting
Berkely Unix, V4.3 which comes with a lot of this software FREE.  (Unless
you've got a rich uncle.)  We're installing it next week, so I can't
tell you the size of the images.  Anotehr nice thing about UNIX is that
its easier to throw utilities out.
     Use the money you save to buy a bigger disk drive.
