The problem is that the Multia uses some sort of shared Interrupt 
signaling and memory is that VMS only added support for that 
configuration type in the 8.x stream to support some Itanium model, and 
I do not know the details.

I do not know which 8.x release that was put in, and I would doubt that 
any of it would work on the Multia even if you find a way to get VMS 8.x 
to run on it and that code is present in the Alpha stream.
