Sure there is, the *VAX* version of OpenVMS will run quite nicely on a
MicroVAX II. A bit slow, but it will run. I was talking about the *Alpha*
version of OpenVMS. I thought that would be obvious.

BTW, read the OpenVMS SPD, you'll find a MicroVAX II with 16MB is about the
minimum supported by OpenVMS V7.2. You'll probably want to leave DECwindows
off the MicroVAX II unless you've actually got a video card and monitor for
it.
