I have an Alpha that I want to upgrade to the 8.3 Hobbyist kit without having to start over. In reading the supported upgrade paths in the docs, I find that I need to do an intermediate update to 7.3-2 before going to 8.3.

I've already checked and HobbyistOne doesn't have any of the older 7.3-2 hobbyist media left over. There isn't even a media part number listed in the 7.3-2 SPD, so I can't have my local HP office order it for me either...

So, the big question. Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with or even loan for a week or so?

If you want it back, I'd be happy reimburse you for the postage to get it to me and send it back to you after I get the box up to 8.3.

If you have one or would be willing to lend it for a brief period, please let me know. You can post or PM me through the forum here and I'll send you my contact info if you can lend me a hand with this.

Thanks!

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
