This is another OS time travel post but this time back to 1998. I did some digging around to resurrect the legendary Digital UNIX 4.0E which like OpenVMS was also developed by DEC. You might notice the Compaq logo on the browser screenshots that's because DEC was eventually bought out according to it's history. Just like OpenVMS, it originally ran only on the DEC Alpha / AXP platform but thanks to the FreeAXP emulator we can take this OS out for a spin again without the actual hardware. I was able to install only the base OS plus some optional mediasets from the Associated Products Volume 1 coz I ran out of disk space to add the rest and Volume 2 but it still runs just the same. See the screenshots below and finally the DL link to the test run video in MP4 at the end.
