versions.

The follow up question then is, is there a reason to avoid 7.3 on lower end VAX
models, say VA

Exactly, although the hard part will be finding SPDs for each version.
For the versions that shipped

7.3 is
the last that supports VAX. But before that, are there limitations to what

For instance, would VAX/VMS 1.0 run on a VAXstation 4000? Or would 7.3 run on a
