Well, I can
submit a correction, but does anyone remember /dev/drum? I
don't recall that in V6m or V7 Unix, I guess I could fire one of them up
and see....
There's at least references to /dev/drum in 2.11BSD, I forget if it was in the docs
or actually important stuff in the source. I don't have my PDP-11/83 set up at the
moment to check!
