...does anybody know if the VAX ROM Monitor is using Ints for the the conio

And, yes, VAX assembly language is a relatively
powerful one.
I don't have a softcopy VAX assembly-langauge reference to
point you at, but I have a dead-tree copy of the architecture
reference manual, and the parts of it you're likely to care
about are in my head as well, so I can answer individual questions
easily enough.

In particular, Chapter 9 of that second reference covers the instruction
set.
I'll admit I've not followed this too closely over Christmas, but I'm
surprised that
this (EK-382AB-UG-002) is not online:

Holm, I have a copy to hand ... 1.42MB if you can accept emails of that
size?
The TOC has such entries as "resident Firmware Operation" and "Console
Status Registers".
The manual is "rtVAX 300 Hardware User's Guide".
