General Description
VAX and PDP11 Hardware Virtualization allows users of HP VAX and PDP11 (Previously known as DIGITAL VAX and PDP11) computers to move application software and user data to a modern Intel or AMD based x86 compatible platform without having to make changes to software and data. VAX and PDP11 Hardware Virtualization is a software solution that replaces VAX and PDP11 hardware.

The Virtualization Software presents standard VAX and PDP11 devices to the VAX and PDP11 operating system, allowing the OS to function as though it were still running on a VAX and PDP11 computer. For example, virtual disk container files in a directory or physical devices of the host Windows platform are presented by the Virtualization Software to the VAX and PDP11 OS as emulated SCSI disks attached to a SCSI adapter.
