If I can get it up and running without networking that would be
acceptable. I'm just interested in seeing it running again.

I have booted both V7.3 and V5.5-2 off a 4GB SD with SCSI2SD V4.6 on a MicroVax II with
16 Mb. Note that DEQNA will not work (at all) on either version. You?ll need a DELQA.
Yes, VMS stopped supporting the QNA at some point because, even after 12 ECOs, it
could not be made to work properly. If I remember right, the issues showed up mostly in
clusters; DECnet didn't mind so much. If all you can get is a QNA, you either need a
sufficiently old version of VMS, or an OS that is more forgiving of bogus hardware.
