I have a bunch of older VMS distributions. I don't know if they're
available anywhere else or not; I would assume so but am not sure. At
least several 3.x and 4.x distributions, going back to 3.0. Let me know
if they're wanted and I can put them up somewhere.
I'd say 4.7 for speed and period-correctness, 5.5 for featurefulness.
The last release of VMS to run on an 11/780 was, I believe, v6.2.
V7.3 should run on it.
