As you know Dave I have very similar problems. I'm very interested in a
"canned" VMS - SIMH Version too...
Like a VMware appliance?
The concept isn't super different; I'm assuming Dave means a zip or
tarball of a premade image and SIMH config file that you can just
run with "vax vms-7.3.cfg" or something. 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
(plus you need to get install media from somewhere, which took me
about a month from Montagar).
