I too would like to find media for an older version of VMS, as I recently
acquired a MicroVAX II. It has an RD53, but I think it does not work as it
whines and the machine won't boot from it, even though I believe it is
supposed to have a version of Ultrix on it. I am in the process of trying to
setup a cluster and see if I can boot the machine from a DEQNA I bought
recently as well, but that will be VMS 7.3 and I would like to have an older
version for old-times sake and also so that I can fit it onto the disk, if
it works, or onto another RD53 or RD54 if I can get hold of one.

Regards
