Wow, Seth. Your site is very well organized! I'm now busy with my new Christmas holidays project of setting up UNIX System V Release 2.0.5 on the SIMH 3B2/400.

Thanks for the steer in that direction. I have the working VAX version to compare with and fall back on if I can't get it working. I'll follow your howto:

and note any differences along the way.


Thanks and later,

Will
