Did anybody properly try VMS on simh? If that fails to keep time
corrently, surely it's not the operating system (VMS) at fault, but the
emulator.

I gave it a quick try myself (i.e. not properly) and it seemed like the
VMS clock was running at around half speed. Maybe that is that "50%
effect" that was mentioned earlier? I'm running simh on NetBSD/amd64 9.3
with the default HZ=100, not HZ=1000.
