I don't know (remember) what I might have said. But depending on
different things, running M+ on an 11/23 or 11/24 can be a little
painful. But running 11M in general is more painful than M+ anyway, so
I would at least recommend trying M+.

The baseline of M+ (4.6) doesn't even boot on non-split processors in simh.

What??? If you configure an 11/23 or 11/24 with 512K it should be able to boot. You might need to boot the PREGEN system, though.

(That said, without split I/D-space, you'll have preciously little pool
space, but that might not be a big issue for you right here.)

    I think that was why.

Yeah. Without supervisor mode and split I/D-space, you will have very
little system pool. If you are not running a bunch of things on the
system, you should still be able to survive though.
Oh, and my TCP/IP will not work on those systems.


So long as I can still run DECnet i'll be fine.

DECnet endnode should be able to run. It is also pregenerated. I seem to remember reading some notes about restrictions, but it should be usable.
