I've seen indications of people running as far back as V1.5 on simh, 
but have no clue as to where they're getting the VAX/VMS distro's 
from.  The oldest I have is 5.5 (Hobbyist V1 CD).  The only V4.x 
system I've ever owned cratered before I
could get a backup done of the system disk (I hate RD53's).

I take it you're down South enjoying the "Sun & Surf" again?  Did you 
just get back down there?  I had thought you were back Stateside. 
BTW, I think you really need to get onto HECnet from down there! :^)
