I agree. I'm on the verge of just deleting my simh instances and moving on.
I was hoping there was some unique OS (just like the HelenOS example I
posted about earlier) that actually ran on VAX but nothing has emerged.
Running older generic versions of Unix isn't something that appeals to
me because the OS is just a tool to me unless it's got something unique
about it (like VMS) that deserves to be explored in its own right.
