   I don't think DEC/CPQ/HPE would have supported it.   
      
   VMS 7.1 SPD state:   
      
      
   VMS V5.1 was the final version to support the   
   VAX-11/725.   
      
   OpenVMS VAX Version 6.2 was the final version to sup-   
   port the following:   
   VAX-11/730   
   VAX-11/750   
   VAX-11/751   
   VAX-11/780   
   VAX-11/782   
   VAX-11/785   
      
      
   But if it runs then it runs.   
      
   And both 6.2 and 7.3 are generally out of support and has been   
   so for many years anyway.
