Processor Restrictions

Not all VAX processors are supported by VMS/SNA. Refer to VMS/SNA (SPD 
27.01.xx) for specific requirements. 

The VAX-11/782 processor is not supported by VMS Operating System V5.0 or 
later.

An R80/RL02 configuration is required for the VAX-11/730

Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

Disk space required for installation:	 	3696 blocks
					 	(1893K bytes)            

Disk space required for use (permanent): 	1306 blocks 
					 	 (669K bytes)

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

OTHER HARDWARE REQUIRED

    DECnet/SNA Gateway (DECSA)
    DEC MicroServer (DEMSA)
    DEC ChannelServer (DESNA)

    and a suitably configured VMS system to act as load host for the 
    DECnet/SNA Gateway

or:

(B) for single VAX system connection to IBM: 

    Synchronous Communications Interface appropriate to VAX Processor used.
    (Refer to VMS/SNA SPD (27.01.xx) for list of supported devices.)

OPTIONAL HARDWARE
