[HECnet] Looking for old version of VMS

[Mark Pizzolato - Info Comm]

On simh you could install VMS on any QBUS or UNIBUS vax simulator RQ device and then boot from that disk image on on a MicroVAX I simulator.

Try the latest VMS version.  The small memory might require some limited system parameters.  The distribution media that the came on (a ton of floppies) isn't useful or practical, but on a simh MicroVAX I simulator can install from CDROM.  MicroVMS was only a subset of VMS to reduce the size of the necessary floppy set and limit space consumed on the relatively small disks that were supported.  I always ran full VMS on mine.

  Ah, great. Testing on SIMH will make this significantly easier.


 Thanks.
