I've assembled some notes from old manuals and other sources on the formats used for on-disk file systems through the Seventh Edition: http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~norman/old-unix/old-fs.html Additional notes, comments on style, and whatnot are welcome. (It may be sensible to send anything in the last two categories directly to me, rather than to the whole list.)

v7 upgrade

by Al Kossow

There were ports of PCC to the 8086, Z8000, and 68000 done by MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science. This might be a more historically correct place to start.

Re: [TUHS] The Tim Shoppa distribution of V6

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine Thank you for your kind advice, Warren. However, I have tried most of the other members of that directory, and yes, it does work. I am curious about this one, because it appears to be decidely different then say an actual distribution of V6. I am also looking at the ones that came from the Research area.

The Tim Shoppa distribution of V6

by Gregg C Levine

Hello again from Gregg C Levine On the FTP site, is a a V6 distribution contributed by Tim Shoppa. It is created for the PDP-11/23, and there is a good readme.txt file that explains the different images, and how they got there. However, has anyone actually gotten the distribution to boot, using a version of Simh? A text file of commands to be fed to the Simh program would be a great help. I have mine, built using the MingW compiler, and this is version 2.9-10. Also, if anyone has gotten it to boot on real hardware, that would a be a great plus.

FW: Missing pack from the UnixV6 distros based at the TUH site

by Gregg C Levine

Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers Forwarded from a posting on news:alt.sys.pdp-11 that I made. Rather then repost the entire message in perpetuity I decided to forward the whole business to this list. As I am still deciding the best way to make use of the whole file tree, without an actual machine living here, I decided to download everything to this one, and then wait.
