   Compatability mode is a hardware capability that stopped shipping
   during the VAX 8000 series.  The OS support, called the RSX AME,
   continued to ship as an optional product and added a compatability 
   mode emulator so that VAXen without compatability mode hardware
   could still run RSX images.
