2.11BSD

I know you've all been on the edge of your seats waiting for this, but... I finally got my PDP-11/73 working, using a wyse terminal instead of my PC -- for some reason neither of the serial ports were sending on the PC (but then again, I boughtthe motherboard in an alley in korea three years ago)... Anyway, it boots up with RSTS/E version 9, which is OK in it's own little way, I guess, but I'd rather be running Unix on it. So where can I download the binaries for 2.11BSD? -- Erin Corliss Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) id PAA02429 for pups-liszt; Sat, 26 Dec 1998 15:03:53 +1100 (EST) Received: from timaxp.trailing-edge.com (trailing-edge.wdn.com [198.232.144.27]) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id PAA02424 for <PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU>AU>; Sat, 26 Dec 1998 15:03:42 +1100 (EST) Received: by timaxp.trailing-edge.com for PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU; Fri, 25 Dec 1998 23:03:36 -0500 Date: Fri, 25 Dec 1998 23:03:36 -0500 From: Tim Shoppa <SHOPPA(a)trailing-edge.com> To: PUPS(a)MINNIE.CS.ADFA.OZ.AU Message-Id: <981225230336.206000db(a)trailing-edge.com> Subject: Re: 2.11BSD Sender: owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk There are at least two different standards for the ribbon-cable-to-D-sub adapters, and of course it's guaranteed that you'll use the wront type :-). Easiest way is for you to tell us what sort of load media you can use and have someone write an install tape for you. Do you have a TK50 or other tape drive on the system? -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927 Received: (from major@localhost) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) id VAA03169 for pups-liszt; Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:31:23 +1100 (EST) Received: from henry.cs.adfa.oz.au (henry.cs.adfa.oz.au [131.236.21.158]) by minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id VAA03164 for <pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au>au>; Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:31:17 +1100 (EST) Received: (from wkt@localhost) by henry.cs.adfa.oz.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) id VAA20488; Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:32:47 +1100 (EST) From: Warren Toomey <wkt(a)henry.cs.adfa.oz.au> Message-Id: <199812261032.VAA20488(a)henry.cs.adfa.oz.au> Subject: Re: 2.11BSD (but no src license) To: grog(a)lemis.com (Greg Lehey) Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 21:32:47 +1100 (EST) Cc: erin(a)coffee.corliss.net In-Reply-To: <19981226180625.S12346(a)freebie.lemis.com> from Greg Lehey at "Dec 26, 98 06:06:25 pm" Reply-To: wkt(a)cs.adfa.oz.au X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au Precedence: bulk In article by Greg Lehey: What Greg says is true: we can't give you access to any UNIX source code unless you have a UNIX source license from SCO. However.... I should ask Dion at SCO if we could distribute binary-only distributions of 2.x BSD without a license. After all, freely distributable binary-only distributions for v5, v6, v7 and Venix (System III-ish) exist. Just a thought, but for now you do need a source license. Cheers, Warren
