MicroVMS existed up to V4.7, and supported a few older MicroVAX models only: MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II MicroVAX 2000 MicroVAX 3500 and MicroVAX 3600 so none of the newer SCSI supporting MicroVAX 3100s. I know that very well, I managed those systems back in the 80ties, and many of them are in my private collection now. All of the newer models need VMS V5 at least.
