I installed VMS a while ago on es40, but I can seem to do it anymore.
7.3-2 and 8.3 both bugcheck with "procgone" when I try to boot from the
installation CD.
The old install I did, I can boot it just fine. For giggles, I ran
SRI's PT_alpha.exe and the numbers were interesting.
$ run pt_alpha.exe

The clock was running at 1.23x normal, so the numbers would have to be
scaled for the "real" numbers.
