@eludom I have, and I'd not mind having one. ;-) I have about four feet of orange RT-11 manuals...

@stunder Yes and no. A fellow enthusiast recently very kindly helped get me set up with a VAX, but it's not a VAX-11. It'll run the code, though!I'd like to have a VAX-11 at some point, as it's the perfect bridge between my PDP-11s and the VAXserver.

@stunder That is a beautiful machine!The VAX I've gotten running (but not booted past the monitor yet) is a terminal (VXT2000) and I'm working on waking up a VAXserver 3100 that I think has a power supply problem (leaky caps, but the semester started and I haven't had the time to recap it).
