  You'll
really need more RAM though, unless you find a version of OpenVMS
older than V7.2.  I've found that 112MB is the minimum for acceptable
performance when running DECwindows, or 96MB without DECwindows installed.  
 Aaargh! Is that really true? Then there is no chance of fitting it onto a
 MicroVAX II!? 
Sure there is, the *VAX* version of OpenVMS will run quite nicely on a
MicroVAX II.  A bit slow, but it will run.  I was talking about the *Alpha*
version of OpenVMS.  I thought that would be obvious.

BTW, read the OpenVMS SPD, you'll find a MicroVAX II with 16MB is about the
minimum supported by OpenVMS V7.2.  You'll probably want to leave DECwindows
off the MicroVAX II unless you've actually got a video card and monitor for
it.
