It was slow, did not support TCPIP Services (might support Multinet), but did support LAVC (to a SIMH VAX emulator under OS X) and LAT.  The 7.3 SPD did not list MV2000, but ISTR Hoff saying something like “nothing was changed to prevent it” and I suspect that any prior supported configuration would still be supported.  The Hobbyist version has most if not all of the patches included in the download from last year.

Sadly, the emulator is closed source and can't be given such
modifications.
