That sounds right from what I remember. After that
point, it became a
memory/disk space issue, not an architectural issue. I don't recall
when uVAX-I support was dropped, but I don't think VMS 6.0 is
supported on an RD54 (though it _can_ be mostly wedged in there).
I'm not sure what if anything was dropped in V7.3, but here are the last
versions to support various VAXen.

If you need it sooner, I can't imagine that
I'm the only person in the
world who still has 15-25-year-old backup media - someone must have
much of this stuff spun up somewhere (though I can undertstand not
wanting to make it available all the time to random passers-by).
Two things come to mind, one is that you're better prepared than most.
Secondly as many people as possible need to work on this, since not all
media will be readable.
I need to inventory my media... I've archived some of it, but not much.
