Hi Fred, I ve been running SIMH with OpenVMS 7.3 on a Pi for over a year now and it has been rock solid. Just checked with SH SYS, it s been up for 224 days straight with a fair amount of daily activity and no noticeable degradation in performance. Runs more reliably than my AXP hardware. FWIW YMMV. And 8GB SD cards are now about $5 on AMZN.

I am considering moving my VAX instance to my Raspi, but didn't want to eat an SD card ... ;) Is it as simple as perhaps mounting the VAX .dsk via NFS and letting SIMH use that, instead of the card? Thanks, Fred ---- Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.
