It should work with a few caveats:
1) The different hardware on the machines should not be a problem since
VMS configures itself dynamically each boot (you don't need a customized
vs. generic kernel like unix). The exception might be if one machine came
out after your version of VMS was introduced.
2) Licenses may not work across the machines, depending on what you're
doing for licenses. The hobby ones should be OK.

I'm totally lost, but some manual reading will probably provide necessary
orientation.
Anyway, thank you, Jochen (?) et al.
Now, I've got three functioning VMS 5.5 disks. And we've got a MicroVAX 3100
without system disks. Would it be possible to just connect one of my spare
disks to the SCSI bus on the ?VAX or would the system crash and burn when it
couldn't find any graphics hardware and perhaps not the exact same peripheral
systems (these are disks from a VAXstation 3100, so they're close relatives)?
