This directory contains a full copy of Unix V7M Release 2.1, as donated by Jean Huens. His description of the tape follows: UnixV7m was distributed by Digital Equipment on a 9 track 800 bpi magnetic tape (at least that's what we got.) The label on the tape read : "UNIX/V7M RELEASE 2.1 800 BPI 10/1/81" and "The contents of this tape are distributed to UNIX licensees only, subject to your software agrements with Western Electric Co., Inc." The tape consists of 8 files described on file 3 : idefix$ cat tapefile3 File 1: 2 copies of magtape bootstrap (2 blocks total) The standalone bootstrap File 2: A file to console copy program File 3: This file File 4: The program mkfs File 5: The program restor File 6: A dump of rp0 (root file system) File 7: Tar format dump of rp2 (/sys - system sources) File 8: Tar format dump of rp3 (/usr - all other sources) The tape was accompagned by a document on paper describing how to boot the system. I do not have a copy of that document and cannot find it on tape, so the rest is from my memory... With the initial bootstrap the boot program was read from tape file 1. Then you could start copy (I do not remember what copy was used for.), mkfs, restor and with restor you could restore the dump on tape file6 to disk. On that root filesystem were a lot of unix systems : hptmunix hptsunix hmhtunix hmtmunix hmtsunix rphtunix rptmunix rptsunix hkhtunix hktmunix hktsunix rl01htunix rl01tmunix rl01tsunix rl02htunix rl02tmunix rl02tsunix u45z_id unixold rl02tsunix_i hkhtunix_id hktmunix_id hptsunix_id rphtunix_id u45z_ov unix.obg rptmunix_id rl02htunix_id rl02tmunix_id rl02tsunix_id rptsunix_id hktsunix_id hmhtunix_id hmhtunix_i (these names are extracted from the inode table on the dump in tape file 6.) You had to select the correct system depending on your disk, tape and processor (separate I & D or not). 8/april/1998 Jean.Huens@cs.kuleuven.ac.be
