Sadly the SIMH Alpha simulator only has the CPU implemented, but none of the rest of the hardware required, as far as I know, so there's no way (yet) to run OpenVMS on it. Some people report some success running es40 (I haven't been one of the lucky ones though), check out the Emulated Alpha subforums. |

i tried everything about alpha - AlphaVM and FreeAXP for windows - and i was looking for AlphaVM free Linux i didn't found it yet
AlphaVM free (win) VS FreeAXP (avanti) :
AlphaVM has no limitation about TAPE media
Cannot simulate two Alpha machine but freeAXP does
i will try ES40 Alpha  sooooon  |

QEMU also claims support for the Alpha processor. I am not sure if anyone has attempted a VMS boot with it.
