Until a few years ago, the best place to find a running VAX was the Living
Computer Museum in Seattle. (That is, a non-micro VAX.)
The museum is still there, but has been closed since early 2000.
I believe the VAX runs on emulated disk, though.
They do have VAX disk drives, but I don't remember RM05 being one of them.
Keeping old disk drives running is much harder than old CPUs.
