Hello again from Gregg C Levine
If the Venix images, are indeed the same ones that I saw roosting on
the server formerly known as Sunsite, then yes they are, and yes you
will. I don't know about the ones for 2.9bsdpro. That's a special
case, and I'm not too clear on that.

I think those may be teledisk images so DD probably wouldn't work.
You need an IBM PC with 80 track drives, IIRC to recreate the
It's been a long time since I looked at those images.
