I have a (real) VS2000 sitting in my basement,
waiting to be "processed". 
Rather than wasting my time I'd like to ask:
I heard of binary images labelled "VMS 4.7" and "VMS 5.52H4".
Is it true that these versions already came on CD and could
the VS2000 be installed with them?

a beast at work, with VWS. It was so dog slow even by 1980s
standards that nobody liked to work on it.
