Cut my teeth on PDP-11 using RT11 to control data loggers. Spent many a happy time with VAXs, started with a 750, ended with an 8810. Company still has a 6610. I was coding in Macro32, Fortran, Basic+. but ended up running Oracle 7 with forms 3.
I am currently running 8600 emulation on simh from a bsd jail of my freenas server but struggling to get ipv6 on multinet running cleanly, lots of opcom messages regarding invalid configs, but think they cascade out of the simh rather than the 8600 emulation, will need to try my freeaxp. Although we did move to alpha it was for a small project that never took off and the machine was scrapped before I could pinch it for my own use.
God bless Ken Olson. He had vision and produced some wonderful kit in its day.
