Yes, that's SIMH running *on* VMS.

Binaries are here, currently only for VAX, still working on alpha,
feel free to download:

Note that there's no network support.   Network support works on Alpha,
but not VAX.   Not sure why.

I just shut down an instance of RSTS/E v10.1 under SIMH on my VAX
7700.   I'm currently booting VMS 7.3. =)

There's just something surreal about simulating a VAX on a VAX.

Yep.   How many layers deep do you wanna go? ;)

Just a few beyond absurdly deep.

I think this is already absurdly deep. ;)   I'm running this on one of
the fastest VAXen ever built, designed to support HUNDREDS of
simultaneous interactive users, and it's...well, running this particular
thing very, very slowly. ;)     (still booting..)

Now, try it on your -11/750. ;)

  No!   Nor the 11/730 either!   And DEFINITELY not the MicroVAX-I!

  Well ok, I take that back.   I might actually try to boot OS/8 under
the PDP-8 emulator on one of those platforms.   That'd probably be ok.
