You can download it using this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12USrZnqSRWelSKAWiHipyDs2qZRcuu9b <https://drive.google.com/open?id=12USrZnqSRWelSKAWiHipyDs2qZRcuu9b> Please notice it is a RL02 image, while the vax780 simulator defaults to RL01. So to use it you will have to: - Unzip it (obviously) . . . set rl0 rl02 attach rl0 stabackit.rl02 . . . boot rl0 This should boot standalone backup and allow you to restore the 4.4 savesets. If you want to go full realistic, once you’ve got 4.4 running, generate your own STABACKIT in the media format you prefer and then repeat the install :) Have fun!
