[fa.info-vax] Micro-VMS

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).
