          Processor Restrictions

          A TK50 Tape Drive is required for standalone MicroVAX 2000 and
          VAXstation 2000 systems.

          Any valid MicroVAX II system configuration with:

          o  Minimum of one megabyte of memory (need to check on megabyte)

          o  TK50 tape drive for installation of the software

          o  RD-Series system disk

          Any valid VAXstation II system configuration with:

          o  Minimum of one megabyte of memory (Need to check on megabyte)

          o  TK50 tape drive for installation of the software

          o  RD-Series System disk

          Disk Space Requirements

          The amount of disk space required to install and use VAX VTX
          depends on which VAX VTX components are installed. The VTX
          installation provides a conversational option which allows
          customers to tailor the VTX environment on a system, according
          to expected usage. The following presents estimates for three
          common VTX software configurations:

          Disk space requirements for VAX VTX subscriber components
          (TCP/CON, etc.)

          Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

          Disk space required for      10,800 blocks
          installation:
                                       (5.5M bytes)

          After installation:          4,700 blocks
                                       (2.4M bytes)

          Disk space requirements for full VAX VTX system, excluding TSM
          sources:

          During Installation:         21,500 blocks
                                       (11.0M bytes)

          After Installation:          8,700 blocks

          Disk space requirements for full VAX VTX system, including TSM
          sources:

          During Installation:         41,000 blocks
                                       (21.0M bytes)

          After Installation:          22,000 blocks
                                       (11.3M bytes)

          These counts refer to the disk space required on the system
          disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary depending
          on the user's system environment, configurations, and software
          options.
