The concept isn't super different; I'm assuming Dave means a zip or

That's sorta what I was thinking. The legalities would prevent me

some help, I'd be happy to help you out. I can put together a "canned"
simh VMS installation for something like this in a very short time.
As you know Dave I have very similar problems. I'm very interested in a
"canned" VMS - SIMH Version too... from distributing such a thing, though. I'd have
to remove my license
and you'd have to install your own (easy to do) before
doing anything
with it.
Having recently gone through
the process of building VMS from scratch (with copious help from an
online tutorial from Hoffman Labs), it's non-trivial for the uninitiated
Oh c'mon, it's not that tough. ;)
(plus you need to get install media from somewhere,
which took me
about a month from Montagar).
I wish I'd known you needed it! :-/
