[HECnet] VAX/VMS 1.50

[Cory Smelosky]

Afternoon all,

I managed to get this to boot in SIMH with minimal effort.   (Started from VMS 3.x and then installed 1.5 with a bunch of devices disabled)

sim> b rp2

$ sh network

                              NETWORK UNAVAILABLE

What kind of networking could I get working on this?   Pre-Phase-IV using a device SIMH doesn't have emulation support for? ;)

I can upload this disk image if anyone wants it.
