I have some questions about simulating early versions of VMS on a VAX
using SIMH.
From reading the docs it seems that the earliest
version of VMS that can
be run is 5.5-2. Has anyone successfully run an earlier
version of VMS?
Also, are there images of VMS 5.5 floating around that I can use?

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.

I've never even used the VAX SIMH emulation, however, I believe people have
had as far back as V1.5 running on the VAX-11/780 version. I'm afraid I do
not know where you can get copies of VMS prior to 5.5 (VAX/VMS V5.5 - 6.x is
on the Hobbyist V1 CD).
