  VMS 4.x is an option for older VAXes, as it predates LMF.  Of course the legality of doing that may still be an issue, but there's no technical challenge to running it.

  VMS 4.7 supported the MicroVAX-III, but I don't remember for sure if it'll work on the 3900 simulated by simh.  Somebody would have to dig up an SPD, but in any event it probably wouldn't be a big problem to simulate a slightly different model.

  Alphas, OTOH, are a problem.  I don't believe there was ever any non-LMF operating system that ran on them....   Well, maybe Windows-NT on the Multia UDB?  Nah ... :)
