Sorry for the misunderstanding Allison!
Actually, that's a very good question. As I'm not a hardware person, I'll
pass this over to the other PUPS mailing list members. If/when SCO start
selling licenses & we make CD-ROMs or FTP sites available, this question
is going to come up an awful lot:
Question 1
----------
How do I get a Unix distribution onto:
- a tape, because I have a tape drive
- a disk drive, as I don't have a tape drive
assuming I [ have RT-11/ RSX / no operating system ] on the PDP-11 already.
Question 2
----------
I have [ this particular CPU and this list of other peripherals ].
What version(s) of Unix can I run on this PDP-11?
Can anybody help out with answers to Question 1? Bits & pieces of Question 2
are answered on the PUPS web pages, but they need expanding.
Thanks in advance for any information, and any programs (boot code etc)
that I can add in to the PUPS archive!!
Warren
