Bunch of Unix tapes rescued

[Tim Shoppa]

On an Expedition to NJ Tuesday, I rescued about 3/4 of a ton of magtapes.
Some of these will probably be interesting for the PUPS archive.  In particular,
I'm reading through seven of 'em tonight.  If someone could explain to
me how "Unix System V Release 2.0" and "Unix System III" work into the
grand scheme of AT&T Unices already in the PUPS archive, and how 2.9.1 BSD
might be different from (or the same as) the 2.9 BSD stuff already in the
archive, I'd forever appreciate it :-).

The first two tapes are AT&T Unix System V tapes for VAXen:

Tape 1:

	AT&T 60462
Unix System V Release 2.0
VAX Version 2 for 11/780 and 11/750
TPName: Root and Selectables

	AT&T 60462
Dwg: j1p077c-3  List:1M1
TP No: OTP-1P550-01  IS: 2.0V2
Order: VX501404 Spec:000 Item:1
BPI 1600 Max Blksize: 05120  Files:0009
Date:01/13/86  Opr: jlc Drv: tu-2


Tape 2:
	AT&T 60463
Unix System V Release 2.0
VAX Version 2 for 11/780 and 11/750
TPName: USR File System

	AT&T 60463
Dwg: j1p077c-3  List:2m2
TP No: OTP-1P550-02  IS: 2.0V2
Order: UX501404 Spec:000 Item:1
BPI 1600 Max Blksize: 05120  Files:0009
Date:01/13/86  Opr: jlc Drv: tu-0


The third tape is UNIX System III from AT&T:

Tape 3:
	UNIX* System III
     PDP 11/70,45 - 800 BPI
        Release Tape #1
*UNIX is a trademark of Bell Laboratories

	Restricted Rights

American Telephone & Telegraph

The Fourth and Fifth tape are either 2.9BSD or 2.9.1BSD (I
can't tell the difference until I compare these tapes with the
files already in the PUPS archives):

Tape 4:

	Berkeley UNIX (Rev. 2.9.1)  2.9BSD
	Sun Nov 20 14:55:50 PST 1983
	800 BPI HT/TM boot tape.  For tar files
	skip the first 7 tape files with
	``mt -t /dev/nrmt0 fsf 7''
	Reel 1 of 2   Tape #

Tape 5:
	Berkeley UNIX (Rev. 2.9.1)  2.9BSD
	Sun Nov 20 14:55:50 PST 1983
	800 BPI		Tar of /usr/src
	Reel 2 of 2

And Tapes 6 and 7 seem to be a complete distribution set of 4.2BSD,
they ought to form a good replacement for the supposedly damaged and
incomplete set in /Distributions/4bsd/4.2BSD.

Tape 6:
	4.2bsd VAX UNIX System 8/23/83
	6 files on tape:
	 1 (boot stuff) 2 (mini root)
	 3 ((root dump) 4 (/sys) 5 (/usr)
	 6 (/usr/lib/vfont)
	last three are tar; 1600 bpi

Tape 7:
	4.2bsd VAX UNIX System 8/23/83
	tape 2: 3 files on tape
	 1 (/usr/src)
	 2 (user contributed software)
	 3 (/usr/ingres)
	all files are tar; 1600 bpi

Like I said, there's about 3/4 of a ton of tapes in total, I'm sure there
are some other PUPS-related goodies deeper in the pile...
