[HECnet] VAXstation 4000/60 parameter RAM?

[Hans Vlems]

I didn't bother with the replacement units. It's far cheaper to write down the boot parameters and set the Sysgen variable that forces vms to ask for the date and time. I have 7 4000 model 60's and 3 90A's, so that would set me back €150...

Nope. It doesn't look like the battery is still working then.

Yeah, it works just fine, just like when I last used it. Apart from the 
time was wonky (battery) and the licenses have all expired ;)
