Greetings one and all.
I am the proud (?) owner of a DEC VAX 11/730 running VMS. I am having
considerable difficulty with it now. Whenever I attempt to boot it up,
the screen comes up fine, but when time to input data, it refuses to
recognize anything. I've tried everything -- different terminals with
varying emulations, even hardwiring a PC to it == still no go.
My question is threefold:
1) is this the appropriate conference to be posting this query.
if not, where?
2) what hardware has gone bad?
3) is there anyway I can acquire a boot tape that would bypass
the need for console input upon boot and initialize a remote
port?
Thanks in advance. Please email replys to:
raj@netcom.com

apple!netcom!raj (for you with mailers like mine)....
