[HECnet] VAX/VMS 3.0 Distribution Available for Download

[William Pechter]

This brings me back to the days on the installation team in February 1982.  I was installing 2.0 and 2.2.  I seem to remember VMS 3.5 supporting the 86xx systems.  Anyone have docs?

From 1982 I see. I know that this will run on the 780/785 but what about
the other VAX-11s or the 8600? I am purely a simulator and have never used
the real thing and I am not sure what years the models in question were
released. Sorry if my questions seem ignorant.
