So some work to do or not (very well) possible.
So it will run on Vax11/780 the original workhorse from then.
Somewhere a Decnet-3.0 around for Vms to make it complete?

A missing SYSLOA usually means you've tried to boot on hardware that the
release doesn;t know about.
Venus needs VAX/VMS V4.0.

So VAX-11/780, VAX-11/750, VAX-11730 and VAX-11/725 is the most you can
do with this.
