> After VSI hosted EISNER for several years, EISNER has now been relocated to Process Software. The Alpha DS20 hardware has been replaced by an emulated ES40 vtAlpha using a license generously donated by AVT and Vere Technologies. VSI continues to provide the complimentary OpenVMS licenses.

I wonder far away QEMU is to supporting OpenVMS on Alpha...


Uh thanks, they moved in MAR 2024 i wonder why they have not migrated to the V9 x86 version instead.

But that's probably why the Uptime changed, before it was always around 300-500 days, now it's around 5-14 day's ;)
