I need to find out what version of Micro-VMS is required to run on a
uVAX-II processor. All uVAX-IIs I've had my hands on have been running
4.2x (field test version).
We just received and installed our upgrade kit to convert our uVAX-I
to a uVAX-II. We then proceeded to try to roll in our uVMS-4.0
distribution by booting standalone backup. But standalone backup
complains about invalid CPU type. The upgrade kit contains an 8 user
liscense key for uVMS 4.1M.
We never bothered to bring up 4.0 on the uVAX-I. Are we going to have
to reassemble the uVAX-I, make sure uVMS is fully up to date, and then
build a new standalone backup? Any other ideas?
Also, how many people have gotten a 4.2 kit (for either VMS or uVMS)
and what experiences have they had.

P.S. uVAX-IIs with QBUS to UNIBUS adapters seem to work fine.
VMS *currently* only supports an 18 bit QBUS (only uses first
496 of the uVAX-II's 8K QBUS map registers).
