Article 161151 of comp.os.vms:
I recently stumbled upon a posting in comp.os.vms, which among other 
useful information said:

>Rumor is that a Multia can be made to run OpenVMS.
>
>A Multia may be able to boot and run OpenVMS by two deposit commands

>
>For Extra Extra Points: Anyone have a Multia to test this on;-)
>
>For Extra Special Bonus Extra Points: What part of the Digital Ts and Cs does

(This came from the DECUS Dallas/Ft. Worth LUG.)

I tried it, but my Multia didn't boot anyway; the APB still complained about
this "system not supported by this version of APB".

Then the Multia restarts the SRM and I get the prompt >>> one again. (The
memory locations modified by the deposits were also restored to their original
contents.)

(I would have guessed the deposits modified the system type, but I can't see
how the values above would match any HWRPB_SYSTYPE$K_* value in my 6.2 version
of LIB.MLB.)

Has anyone tried it successfully? If so, what version of VMS was used?
