There are regularly hobbyist-suitable VMS-capable machines on eBay.
The DECUS hobbyist license gets you the DEC Ada83 compilers for both
VAX and Alpha. GNAT runs on Alpha VMS if you require Ada95, but
even the Alpha machines are sold on eBay.
Those used machines are not as fast as the latest ones being built,
but my own experience with Ada compilers is that if the compiler
gives me more time to think, the result turns out better :-)
