That makes sense, I'll give that a try.

These is for my home system.  I'm moving as much of my VMS data and apps
back to VAX as I can, and then creating a SIMH VAX cluster.  The desired
goal is less dependance on hardware that's in the 18 year range, and a much
lower power bill.

I also plan to move my real VAX/VMS 5.5-2 system to SIMH.
