Hi,
Has anyone done anything to try and get 2.11BSD
working
on non-separate I&D PDP-11s?
One of the various READMEs I ran across said it might be possible
with some creative memory layouts using overlays.
I briefly searched the PUPS mail archives but turned up
nothing.
No way. It already relies heavily on overlays to get things
done. Even without the networking code (which requires I&D,
*and* Supervisor mode), there is pretty much no way to get it
to fit (even a small system) within a 64K space.
If you really need a UNIX that (slowly ;-) fits in the nonID
space, ytu Ultrix-11. That fits, although its very slow on such
machines.
Cheers,
Fred
