Matt Burke put together a 782 simulator. It's available at 9track.net
I've never tried it though.

VAX-11/730 with a PDP-8 FEP would have been a rather odd creature.
But VMS V2.4 sounds plausible for 1978. V3 or V4 feels like they should
have been later.
The VAX-11/782 was actually a multiprocessor VAX-11/780. Shared memory,
but it was ASMP. Simh cannot emulate that one. However, you'll
That shows how reliable my brain is...

I believe it was a Vax 730 with a PDP-8 FEP, inside the main chassis it
actually had a part labelled (in big letters) "FUBAR"
If I remember correctly, it ran VMS v2.4
The Vax I have the most memories of though, which I'd also like to simulate,
was a Vax 782 (two 780s clustered I believe), and

But if you did get it up, you will need the full AME product installed
in order to run RSX software, as these machines don't have hardware

A common problem with old systems is "how do you get files in and out".
Traditional ways (if the system and/or external tools permit) are a
printer, punched cards, paper tape, magnetic tape, copying/pasting in a
terminal, sending data across a serial line. Depending on your system, you

Following on from Don Stalkowski's seminal work (SimH list 26th October
2019, and 28th March 2016 before that), I have tidied up his scripts, and
added a few new features.
We now have the following on a 67MB disk:
- Perkin-Elmer OS/32 v8.1.
- Multi Terminal Monitor (MTM) with 8 terminal
I know that later versions of VAX-11 RSX support PDP-11 emulation
through software emulation of the PDP-11 commands. Even on VAX processors
that don't have PDP-11 hardware emulation.
This PDP-11 software emulation would presumably be missing in earlier
versions of VAX-11 RSX but I remember it
Just a couple of observations and a question about Andy's distros. First,
they WILL run on a simulated VAX-11 730 if RAM is set to 5 megabytes.
Also, on the 730 all lp behaviour is normal. Now for my question, is my
intuition right in that the RSX package either won't run or simply be
useless on
