I for one was thrilled to see that there will be x86_64 hobbyist licenses for
VMS. I have an emulated VAX on a Raspberry Pi (I don’t know if my 11/730
works, but I doubt it—it’s nowhere near a 220V power supply and it’s not been
much of a priority, and I have a VAXStation 3100 that doesn’t

Then, the people will ask for an ARM port, before they touch it ;-)

Indeed. Backing that up is definitely a good idea.
Also worth noting that this is a uVAX 3100-96, which is a nice catch.
Over 30 VUPs

I picked up a microvax 3100 this past weekend from a office that was

I was able to start the system up, it boots up to a login prompt for VMS

I do not have any login info for this machine, is there a procedure i can
