I'm not aware of any VAXen with a PDP-8 front end. The odd PDP-8 rumor
that I always heard was the the 11/780 had a secret, undocumented PDP-8
emulation mode, just because the guy that wrote the microcode liked
PDP-8s. I always suspected this was an urban legend, or a corruption of
the rumor about how software development for the DECmate started out on
a PDP-11/60 that was microcoded with a PDP-8 emulator (don't really know
if *that* one is true, either).
