So you can basically install X on them and it'll run?


Well, yes and no. I don't think the graphics support in SIMH is the better option to make a "portable VAX". 

Basically, what you get is a window emulatin the Vaxstation "glass console". So, when you boot VMS with DECWindows, you get a graphic login prompt just like in a real VS. The problem is you will get the emulated device resolution, not the resolution your mac can support.

You will get better results with a headless emulated VAX and xnest/Xephyr connecting to it using XDCMP...
