So far it only support VAX 11/750, boots & runs multi-user but is quite instable. Currently it only support RA disks on UDA50, but there will me more devices supported as soon as it will run more stable. I also had an disk crash on my root filesystem, which has delayed development a while... About VS2000 I don't know so much. Is the disk controller an MSCP controller? In that case you only have to write some routines to support graphics card :) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Anders Magnusson - ragge@ludd.luth.se - Luleå Academic Computer Society - - May the carrier be with you! -
