On Bitsavers, I found a file called vms_1.5_1600.tap and was wondering if it is something that can be installed on Simh and if so could someone please give me instructions on how to it? I think it would be fun to play with an early version of VMS.

I don’t think you’ll be able to get early versions of VMS running on SIMH. A lot (almost all?) of the utilities run in PDP-11 compatibility mode  which, as far as I can see, is not supported by the 11/780 emulator.
