   Hi Simon, thanks for the suggestion, but we're specifically trying to 
set up a VMS workstation with a graphical desktop.  This is for a museum 
exhibit.  Not that an I2 running VMS 8.4 is anywhere near museum 
material, but will allow people to see (and use!) VMS systems from both 
the modern era, and, say, the 4.7 days.  We're running 4.7 on our 
VAX-11/750, and will probably run something earlier on our 11/780 when 
we get it running.
