I ran MicroVMS on a "MicroVAX 8000", a VAXstation 8000 that was missing
the Evans & Sutherland graphics hardware. Installed it from RX50s. Don't
recall what version it was; I think it was 4.5. I don't know what DEC 
shipped with the VAXstation 8000s; we used to do work for DEC and things 
would occasionally just kind of show up.
