The only thing I've found so far is a note saying that it was/is only supported on the DEC 7000/10000, not VAX.

Well poop.  Thanks for the reference anyway, Johnny.  Much appreciated!

Well, I guess any information is good for something, even if this was very little information or help.

(DEC 7000 is in fact what I’m working on.)

Suspected as much. A bit surprised any machines are still around. Update had one, but we got rid of it many years ago when we needed to shrink our collection. We do have a VAX 7800 still around. One of the things sometimes in the back of my head that I wanted to work on NetBSD support for, but never been able to find the time, and now the machine is in deep storage, so unlikely that I will ever be able to fire it up again.
