hello Holm,
I did not find the way to get the vms cd distribution cd I bought from
montagar several years ago,I do not know if they still do it????a way
remains to get vms software :
from time to time cd appear on ebay with complete
distributions,I looked
today :a few offers are present not very expensive with vms
vax 7.1 .I do
not know if it is possible to get licenses for hobby now,without them
layered products are not usable but remember that
without license you can use vms with all its utilities and assembly language
for one user from the terminal console,and lots of freeware exist:c
language,apl also but alas not fortran ,also cmuip to go to internet exists
and really it is impossible to describe all what is available,and as recent
versions of vms (6 and 7 )can use iso cdroms ,any cdrom burnt on a pc will
be usable ...best regards

I also have a MicroVAX I (Currently housing a KA650, but I still have
the
original boardset). It would be fun to get it running VMS -- the
MicroVAX
I tops out at VMS 5.1, though. Where can one find media (and licenses)
for
older versions of VMS?

The license comes from the VMS Hobbyist Program. It's good for any
version of VMS, from 0.whateveryoucanfind to 8.4.
Even though early versions of VMS do not enforce licensing through the
LMF, it's still required.
Media can be borrowed. HP doesn't care where you get it, but asks that it
not be posted for public download.
