More precisely, V7.3 will run on *any* VAX, including the primal 
VAX-11/780. This level of backwards compatibility is unique.

The other way around, each "newer" VAX in general needs a minimum 
version of VMS to run. Sometimes special "hardware releases" were issued 
(such as V5.5-H2) to support a new VAX model or variant.
