Summary

This machine ended up on NetBSD/vax 1.6 on its own hard drive, and was the DNS server at The Trailer. For some reason, I always think this one was named hestia.

Historical Summary

Note that the information presented in this section was retrieved from my old personal website, The VAX Pirate's Lair, and is not likely to be entirely accurate or timely. Spelling errors have been kept intact for the purposes of historical preservation.

This box is a MicroVAX 3100. It is currently running NetBSD/vax 1.3, netbooted over my MOP server (dimetrius). It has a 2.1GB hard drive and a Plextor 1x CD-ROM. It awaits an RRD40 for loading VMS with. I'll keep the MOP server set up in case I ever get the urge to run NetBSD again.

Update! A Philips CM-215 CD-ROM drive has arrived. The hard drive would not accept a VMS install, so I pulled the hard drive out of lachesis, and VMS 7.2 installed without a hitch
