[What PDP-11s run Unix...]
I currently run Version 7 on a PDP-11/83 Q-bus box stored under my bed.
(I have a hospital bed, the kind you can crank up and down - Mine's about
3/4 the way up)
The RL02 I boot from is twice the size of the CPU!
I also have an MSCP device that I load RT-11 from.
BTW, there is a setting in the '83 Setup program called allow-alternate-bootblock,
you can directly boot Unix by enabling this.  Does that work on an 11/73 as well?
I just turn on the RL, start the disk and the CPU at the same time, and the disk
comes ready just at the 9-step check finishes.
I say unix and off it goes.
Now, I I could just get it to see my DHQ11...
