 Version 1.2 and higher of the VAX port of [[NetBSD]] can run on a MicroVAX II. I've even built some instructions [[Installing NetBSD 1.2 on the SIMH MicroVAX II|using SIMH]] on how to do so, that may be adapted to a real MicroVAX but I don't have one to test with.

 [[OpenBSD]] can run on the MicroVAX II as well, later versions are better for timing issues... 4.4 is the current good version.
