The VAX is
/getting there?/ Hell, I run NetBSD/vax on it! I'm fairly
certain that OpenVMS/VAX is also supported. It's not the fastest VAX
in the world, but on a PIII/1GHz, it does rather well. I've no
complaints with it, except for a lack of support for a network
interface.
The last time I tried the VAX emulator it pegged the CPU and left it
at 100% on a 1.6GHz Athlon. To me, that means it ain't there yet.
The CPU gets pegged because the emulator doesn't detect the
idle loop. To change this behavior would require the emulator
to know about the operating system.
