Our first 11/780 had half a megabyte of memory.? Friday afternoon one
memory board went bad, and I pulled it out.? A user group ran a
gigantic batch job of mechanical analysis over the weekend on 256 K!
I was amazed, I really thought it would thrash itself to death on that.
I ran a microVAX-II at home on one meg for years. On 4/28/19 6:27 PM, Ray Jewhurst wrote:

ACK
I don't know what VAX hardware VMS 1.5 supported, what VAX hardware
that Simh supports, or what the overlap is between the two.
There's a reasonable chance that someone will chime in with experience.
You are limited to what the VAX-11/780 system had for peripherals and
typically under 8MB ram (it maxed at 16mb).
