Convert DS20 from Tru64 to VMS

[Steve Stapleton]

Claude,
     The PAL code should not be a problem if VMS is booting.  What SCSI
adapter are you using on this system and what devices are not showing up?
Do you get any messages during boot that indicate that VMS is having
problems with devices?

Greetings,

Appologies for asking a question which is off-topic.

I want to retire the old DEC 3000 Model 400. I thought that I could just
copy the VMS files to a pair of larger disks, attach them to the DS20 (got
it from a project that ended), change a few settings at the console, and
boot. VMS runs but the SCSI devices that are visible from the console
before booting are not visible from VMS (I cannot even see the CD-ROM
drive, only the boot disk is visible).

For the last few years, the other systems (Solaris, Linux, and Windows)
have taken all my time and I have not done much on the VMS systems. I have
forgotten too much and I am stuck.

Could someone point me to a VMS/Alpha mailing list where I can get help?

Yes, I tried Google but have not found anything useful. What I have seen
leads me to think that this may be more difficult than I thought.

Thank you.
