[Info-vax] AXPbox performance and tried to boot OpenVMS Alpha 6.2

[Timothy Stark]

Folks,

 

I ran VUPS on OpenVMS 8.4-2L1 on AXPbox (ES40 emulator) with i7-8800K
processor and got 63.0.  Which real AlphaServer models is near 63.0 rate?

Does anyone have a listing of AlphaServer models with VUPS rates?

 

Also I tried to boot old OpenVMS Alpha v6.2 install media but it just
stopped with halt code 5 immediately after loading bootstrap code.

 

Which AlphaServer models does OpenVMS Alpha 6.2 and 8.4-2L1 supports?

 

Look at my screen log below.

 

Thanks,

Tim
