    : There are rumours that if you switch the 5300 to SRM,
    : edit the nvram and add a line

    : 10 set srm_boot true

    : That when you boot the 5300 the SRM will choose NOT to
    : 'poison' the HWRPB and will identify itself with the system
    : type of an AS 1200. This is, of course, not supported.
    : However, it is the way I run Hobbyist OpenVMS on my Digital Server
    : 3305. Not that the system MUST be set to reset on boot, otherwise
    : the environment variable doesn't get set quite right and it
    : doesn't work.
