I'm curious about the possibility of backing down to VMS 5.0 or 4.4
as a long-term solution. Are there installation files or ISO
available somewhere? I started with VMS back in the 80s using 4.4 on
a VAX 8200 and a MicroVAX II. It seems to me that the system was
already pretty serviceable, aside from the need for third party
extensions to get TCP/IP in place of DECNet.
Andy Hoffman did some work producing workable VAX/VMS V4.0, 4.4, 4.6
and 4.7 images. They are/were available here:
V4.7 ==>

What is the earliest version of VMS available for the Alpha? Anyone know?
OpenVMS AXP V1.0Â I thought there was a copy available at VAXhaven
<https://vaxhaven.com/CD_Image_Archive>
<https://vaxhaven.com/CD_Image_Archive> but I was mistaken. The next
best thing though is OpenVMS AXP V6.1 and OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 (Yes, the
nomenclature did change and they skipped from V1 to V6 for Alpha/AXP
to match OpenVMS VAX).
I seem to recall having seen an OpenVMS AXP V1.0 CD being on Ebay at
some point but I never tried for a copy.
