My point was that VAX/VMS became OpenVMS which runs on both VAX and
Alpha with v6.0, IIRC. The newest version to run on the VAX is 7.3.
I've no idea if they're ever going to do one of the 8.x versions for
the VAX. The roadmap on the HP website might give a clue.

Last version of OpenVMS for the VAX is 7.3, 7.3-1
is Alpha only. I
believe the last version of VAX/VMS was 5.5-2H4. Yeah, I'm picking a
couple nits here :^)
I've run 6.0 on a uVAX-II with an RD54... it was a *really* tight
squeeze, but it did (barely) fit. I thought that VAX/VMS went up
through 6.x and stopped at 7.0, or was it 7.1? Can't say for sure
without looking it up - since 7.0, I've been running VMS on Alpha
hardware.
