Not sure about the older VAX code in simh, which
emulates a MicroVAX
3900. HP claims 5.1-1 supported that real hardware. But the newer
11/780 simh variant ought to be able to run older versions of VMS.
You know what? I am lame. I didn't realize SIMH could do the VAX 11/780.
After searching around a bit I read a message from Bob Supnik circa 2004
saying that making an 11/780 simulator would require practically a whole
new simulator and then assumed that no one went forward to make one. Duh.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. Now, does anyone know where I can get VMS
3.2? ;)

Hmm.... I used to use (briefly!) an 11/780 back in about 1982-1983..
Would that have been a 3.x version? The number feels familiar! I'll
have to order a bucket of round tuits and have a play with simh one
day...
(I was a lowly apprentice at Ferranti Computer Systems, Cheadle
Heath, and we had several VAXen networked, and I spent a few months in
the operations department, running backups mainly! But I did manage
to write a bomber-style game, possibly in Fortran, to amuse myself. )
