OK, so I'm quite lazy - does anyone have a prebuilt version where I could just tweak the SIMH / VMS settings? :)

There will be beer for any assistance should you be crazy enough to visit Helsinki.

took me about 7 hours to build the kernel on the Pi. You can also build it on another machine (i.e. faster) if you use the right toolchain.

I've got LAT running in the Pi as well. I haven't tried DECnet yet (I'm not sure if the ARMHF kernel has it compiled in, and I am _NOT_ going to buld the kernel in the Pi since it could take whole days :)).
