I believe someone gave an earlier response that the
MicroVAX I was too
small to run openVMS alone.
Well, you're not as bad off as I was thinking, must have been mixing you up
with a VAX-11/725. I just pulled up the SPD for OpenVMS
http://www.digital.com/info/SP2501/SP2501HM.HTM (beware, it's 122 pages).
It turns out the last version to support the MV I was actually V6.2, though
you can't run DECwindows Motif. The OpenVMS Hobbyist PAKs are actually
good for *ANY* version of VMS, however, the only version that's easy to
obtain is V7.2 on CD-ROM.
