CHARON-VAXstation/32, /64, /128, /128 Plus, and /Notebook for Windows

The CHARON-VAXstation products are software packages that accurately simulate and create a virtual VAXstation system hardware on a Personal Computer. They are designed to run VAXstation software in unmodified binary form on a PC.

CHARON-VAXstation compatibility with the VAXstation computers is verified with AXE, the VAX architecture compatibility verification tool used by DEC in the design of VAX hardware. HP will provide existing VAXstation customers with VMS and layered product licenses for transfer from a hardware VAXstation to CHARON-VAXstation. When CHARON-VAX is running on HP products, the transfer license permits customers to maintain their HP VAX software warranties. Transfer license information can be found here.

CHARON-VAXstation products include partial VCB02 functionality so that a VMS workstation license (type D) can be used. They come in the form of pre-configured, ready-to-run VAXstation configurations. For details, please see the Software Product Description.

To beat or exceed the system performance required, CHARON-VAXstation/128 Plus comes with the Accelerated CPU Emulation (ACE). ACE optimises VAX instruction interpretation by substituting common VAX code sequences with native instructions, improving the VAX CPU emulation speed 3 to 4 times.
