The first VAX Introduced in 1977.
| VAX-11/780 | |
| Codename: | Star |
|---|---|
| Year Introduced: | October 1977 |
| CPU: | KA780 |
| Clock Speed: | 200 ns |
| VUPS: | 1.0 |
This was the first VAX from Digital Equipment Corporation. The VAX was the sucessor to the PDP-11, and in order to make the VAX seem more PDP-11 friendly, they retained the -11 monkier for the first VAX's, hence the 11/780 designation. The 11/780 didn't have normal firmware, instead it loaded it's microcode from floppy.
Emulation
SIMH is the only known emulator for the 11/780. Simh can address up to 128Mb of ram emulating an 11/780. Also the following periphals are emulated:
- TLB Translation buffer
- SBI
- MCTL0, nexus=1
- MCTL1, nexus=2
- UBA, nexus=3, autoconfiguration enab
- MBA0, nexus=8
- MBA1, nexus=9
- TODR Time of day
- TMR
- TTI
- TTO
- RX
- DZ, address=2013E040-2013E05F*, vect
- CR, address=2013FE70-2013FE77, vecto
- LPT, address=2013FF4C-2013FF4F, vect
- RP, Massbus adapter 0, 8 units
- RL, address=2013F900-2013F909, vecto
- HK, address=2013FF20-2013FF3F, vecto
- RQ, address=2013F468-2013F46B*, no v

Operating Systems
The 11/780 was to ship with VMS 1.0.
- VMS 1.0 - ?.0
- 32v
- Ultrix
- BSD (CSRG flavor)
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
There was also the VAX-11/785, which was an upgraded version.
