SimH has instructions on how to change a couple of bytes in the "ROM"
file to change the model number. Changes nothing to the emulator, only
what the booting OS sees as the hardware type.

Microvax II may be special case since many instrctions are emulated and
I beleieve sepcial shareable images are loaded. But once you get to full
VAX models, are there really differences in how VMS operates ?
