This well-preserved copy of “VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures Version 5.2” by Kenah Goldenberg is a valuable resource for computer historians and enthusiasts interested in the evolution of operating systems. Published in 1992, this technical manual provides an in-depth exploration of the internals and data structures of VAX/VMS, a influential operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their VAX line of computers.
As one of the earliest commercial operating systems to incorporate features like virtual memory and symmetric multiprocessing, VAX/VMS played a significant role in the development of modern computing. Goldenberg’s comprehensive work offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of this groundbreaking system, making it a prized addition to any collection focused on the history of computing and operating system design.
Beyond its historical significance, this book also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of DEC, a pioneering company that helped shape the computer industry. Although DEC was eventually acquired by Compaq in 1998, its legacy lives on through influential technologies like the VAX architecture and the widespread adoption of minicomputers in businesses and research institutions.
