Specifications

OpenVMS VAX Operating System, Version 5.5-2 SPD 25.01.37
Appendix A
This appendix describes some restrictions to the system
configurations listed in the charts. See the VAX System
and Options Catalog and the Network and Communica-
tions Buyers Guide for details of VAX hardware config-
urations.
Micro/VAX I/VAXstation I Systems
The final version of VMS that supports these systems is
VMS V5.1-1.
Micro/VAX II System
The CX-series boards and DESQA controller can be
used in a BA213 cabinet only.
Micro/VAX 2000 and VAXstation 2000 Systems
DECnet–VAX supports only one asynchronous data
/modem RS-232C serial line up to 9600 baud on the
integral 4 line asynchronous controller.
VAXserver 3602 System
The VAXserver 3602 is two VAXserver 3600 systems.
VAX–11/725
VMS V5.1 was the final version to support the VAX–11
/725.
VAX–11/730 System
The VAX–11/730 system supports additional memory to
a maximum of 5 MB for systems configured with R80
/RL02 or dual RL02 disks. Other VAX–11/730 system
configurations support a maximum of 3 MB of memory
for the VAX–11/730 only.
A maximum of two RL02 disk drives can be added to the
dual RL02 and the R80/RL02 configuration for VAX–11
/730 only.
The VAX–11/730 system supports one UNIBUS mag-
netic tape subsystem.
Refer to the Hardware System and Options Catalog for
the different hardware options supported on these sys-
tems.
The VMS DECwindows environment is not supported
on these systems.
Appendix B
This appendix describes Digital Equipment Corporation
terminals, disks, tapes, controllers, communications op-
tions, and VAXcluster options.
Terminals and Terminal Line Interfaces
To prevent input from overflowing a buffer, terminals use
the ASCII control characters DC1 and DC3 for synchro-
nization as defined by Digital’s DEC STD 111, Revision
A.
The following table lists the terminals that are supported
by VMS:
VT52 VT100-series LA-series
VT300-ser
ies VT1000-series LQP02
VT200-series
Terminals on Professional 350, Rainbow 100, and DEC-
mate II systems emulate VT100 terminals.
Only limited support is available for the VT52. The
VT131, when running an application, operates in block
mode. When interacting with VMS and its associated
utilities, the VT131 only operates in VT100 (or interac-
tive) mode and not in block mode.
Note: The VT1000 is a monochrome windowing ter-
minal that supports standard ANSI applications and "X"
windows. The transport protocols supported are LAT for
VMS. The product supports 15 inch and 19 inch moni-
tors.
Disks
To support full VMS, a system disk of greater than 100
MB is recommended. To support full VMS and full VMS
DECwindows, a system disk of greater than 115 MB is
recommended. When a smaller disk is used, additional
tailoring is required prior to installing some VMS and
VMS DECwindows options. This does not include the
dump file space. Refer to the Upgrade and Installation
Procedures Manual for information on tailoring. For the
disks that have been introduced since the last edition of
the VMS Operating System SPD, the minimum required
version of VMS for these disks is listed.
