Woohoo!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out with this one. With your 
input, and a bit of bodgery, I now have a working MicroVAX!

In the end, I basically set it up as follows:

1) Install onto simh, add decnet & vmscluster. Suffer licence problems, 
as per other posts...
2) Use vmscluster to boot MicroVAX, similar license problems...
3) Add 2nd hard drive. Install VMS onto 2nd HDD using network booted 
version
4) Boot to 2nd HDD. Proceed as for new VMS install. It works!!!

So, many thanks one & all... I now have a REAL VAX running REAL VMS! 
Mucho happy bunny :) Time to start scouring eBay for that 8800 :)
