In that case (I seem to have confirmed with simh's 11/780 simulator that

For anyone who's interested, this is what happens when I try and boot
the 7.2 hobbyist cd (attached to an Emulex UC18 that came with my other

It looks like in order to get VMS running on my
11/780, I'll need
to find install media for an older version than what I have now.
VMS 6.2 seems to be the newest version that will run.
V6.2 might be the latest supported version, but I suspect that they
didn't do anything actively to make V7 fall over in a heap: they
jus stopped spending the time and effort (== money) to make
sure they could guarantee that both the remaining VAX-11/780
customers could continue to enjoy full support :-) >>HALT
