Something quick and easy to do that helps the world

by Kenneth Stailey

You can edit the Wikipedia, it's really easy to pick up on and there are plenty of people involved who can (and will) offer advice if you find yourself struggling. Lots of pages detailing UNIX Hertiage exist now and you can add more if you like. I spent an hour or so today enhancing this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Microsystems __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

I would more than welcome a volunteer to port 4.3BSD-Quasijarus to m68k. (Using pcc of course.) Wanna tackle that one? MS

All, Can anyone suggest some good unix mailing list.

Naveen, this is a mailing list about Heritage Unix. I don't think your question counts as such, unless you're running X11R3 on a Sun2 or something similar. Cheers, Warren

Re: pdp11/34 can't boot. help us !

by John Holden

The machine sounds a scary mix of Unibus and Qbus peripherals (a real Heath Robinson!). Given you cannot deposit/examine memory and get correct results, the bootstrap will halt because it runs some diagnostics (including memory) before it attempts to boot a device. The first step it is to strip down the system to the first system unit. You can still leave all the cards in, just remove the unibus jumper from slot 9 and move the terminator M9302 into slot 9 (a-b). For good measure, I'd also remove the M8217 from slot 9 (c-f) and put in a bus grant continuity card if you have one. Since it's (now) the last slot, it shouldn't matter if the grant card is missing. Then try your memory deposit/examine test. I'm assuming here that you have tested all the power supply voltages as it appear that you have a fairly loaded system. Have a look at the following site for more hints:- http://www.psych.usyd.edu.au/pdp-11/hints.html

While on the subject of 32V ...

by Pat Villani

Folks, I recently copied down the 32V source, and compiled the kernel with gcc. Much to my surprise, most of it compiled. I then split out the machine dependent versus the machine independent files (loose classification :-), and compiled again. Naturally, in both cases, you could not actually build a kernel because there are vax specific .s files, but the individual C files compiled. Not a bad start. As a result, I've been giving serious consideration to porting it to Intel IA32 platforms. It's much simpler than the unix I worked on until last year (Tru64, aka OSF/1 and Digital UNIX), and the 32V kernel is only a little bigger than the original FreeDOS kernel I wrote. The Caldera license is pretty much a BSD license, which could be considered an open source license. This means I should be able to work on it without worrying about IP, although I'd still need management approval. Should I undertake such an project, would there be enough interest to justify the effort? Pat -- You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. -- Henry Ford

Re: 32V update (was Re: [TUHS] While on the subject of 32V ...)

by macbiesz＠optonline.net

You should make some kind of status log, showing what parts of the system have been ported, and what still needs to be done. That would make it easier for others to help out.

Re: 32V update (was Re: [TUHS] While on the subject of 32V ...)

by Wesley Parish

Just an update - I'm now compiling ~/[...]/32V/usr/src/libc/gen to *.o using gcc set with -I../../include . Most of them compile smoothly. I hope I'll have most of the library compiled to *.o soon, enough for using as the basis for compiling the utilities to 32I. Wesley Parish -- Clinesterton Beademung - in all of love.
