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.
