Hi Folks,
I'm a total OpenVMS Newbie, I bought a used AlphaPC 164SX based system with DEC Alpha 21164PC with RM Console on it (Ver 5.8-1) and I'm trying to install OpenVMS V7.3-1 from the hobbyist CD. It seems to hang on "jumping to bootstrap code";

It seem's to be reading the cdrom. I suspect that it might be a hardware compatibility issue;

-NEC CDR-1910A SCSI CD-ROM
-Seagate ST15150N 4.29GB SCSI Hard Drive
-Diamond Fire GL 1000 Pro 4MB PCI graphics card
-DEC 54-23248 SCSI/Ethernet adapter (based on DEC 21040 and QLogic chipsets)
-DEC DEFPA-AB FDDI Adapter

Can anyone point me in the direction of a definitive hardware compatibility list(I checked the HP site but could not find anything)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very excited about learning about OpenVMS.

best regards,
Haydn
