As long as you've updated to the Y2K-compliant KDJ11-E firmware, that is. The "old" firmware will do fine up until the end of 28-Feb-2000, when it will promptly wrap back around to 1990. You can use 2.11BSD 'toyset' (or the RSX-11 or RT-11 equivalent) to set the TOY clock after that date, but at power on it'll reset back to 1990. See the discussions in vmsnet.pdp-11 earlier this year for the ordering code and cost (I think it's around $25.00) for the new 11/93 and 11/94 firmware. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa@trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
