[Info-vax] When was the peak of Layered Products

[urbancamo]

> From the release history, 5.5-2 supported the same as 5.5-2HW which

> 100, microVAX 3100 model 90 and VAXstations 4000 model 90.
> RZ26 was also supported here which may explain why the biggest disk

> 5.5-2H4 appears to have added the VAX 4000 model xxxA systems (100A,
> 500A, 600A and 700A)

Ah very interesting - so you think I should be able to run VMS 5.5-2HW
on a VAXstation 4000/90?

> I used WPSPlus on a pair of VAX 6000 systems (VAX 6000m430 and
> 6000m510) to type up my final year project at Liverpool Poly.  Long

Did you catch my retrochallenge blog? I used a VAX 4000/90 for a month
in January (foregoing other computer equipment), and resurrected All-
in-1 with WPSPLUS to write the web blog. If you're interested in a
nostalgia trip, the blogs at: http://blog.wickensonline.co.uk.

Thanks very much for the info! Mark.
