While the 4.7 system is good, personally, I would go with a version 5
system. V5.5 or V5.5-4 would be my choice. It has so many more
capabilities and toys/tools!

Subject: [HECnet] Older VAXVMS Install kits?
Hey everyone!
As i'm not getting anywhere with my TOPS-10 endeavours, I
thought i'd try something else: older VAXVMS in SIMH's
VAX-11/780 simulator. ;)
1). What would be the best/most interesting version to try?
2). Where would I get install media for these older versions? ;)
Thanks!

More-or-less, except I was building for a KL10 instead of a KS10 (KLH10, not SIMH)
I have had no problem doing TOPS-10 MONGENs following that.
http://pastebin.com/LDUWrSEA is what happens

You could try to build a VMS 4.7 system. To do that you will have to build a 4.6 and then upgrade it (IIRC 4.6 has also a mandatory update to apply). Previous to do that you will need to make a stand alone backup bootable kit. I made a bootable tape image using a running openVMS 7.3 system so I was able to boot STANDALONE BACKUP in the 780. Alfter that you can restore then 4.6 tape and boot it to install the rest of 4.6 and later upgrade to 4.7.
You will find 4.7 in the 780 simulator boots really fast ;)
The kits and some layered products are available at ftp.trailing-edge.com.
Good luck!

Thanks!
I used modula 2 on a VAX in 1991 and had a line printer listing of all module definitions and implementations for a long time. I would be really interested in this please please!

Speaking of Modula-2, I have an incomplete Modula-2 for RSX. Anyone else
have the missing bits and pieces?
Don't know what bits you're looking for, but somewhere I have Modula-2 for
VMS. It's all written in Modula-2, of course.

Give me a bit. If i've finally figured this out it'll be on HECnet

I figured it out and got a monitor built. It just doesn't seem to /work.

Just had a quick look at the manual you pointed me at. Make sure you are
following the instructions for the KS10 and not the KL10, SIMH emulates the
KS10 only.
Actually, I was building a KL monitor because KLH10 allows me to do DECnet.

I can't help with writing drivers, but i'd be willing to help with testing. I think the documentation covers this configuration of DMC links. I'm not the best with TOPS-10 or TOPS-20, but i'm learning.
Same thing here.
