Bochs and a real PC.
Plex86 might once have been faster to use since it did not emulate
instructions, but now it seems to be for virtualizing Linux.

Just do the steps in HOWTO and tell me about what problems you get.

Get bochs running.
Do not run FreeVMS natively on the computer you develop on.
Only run FreeVMS on PCs where you will not be hurt much if
your file system is lost.
(I use a Pentium I PC I found in a dumpster, and sometimes it
reboots like a yo-yo)
