211BSD install

I'm definitely not the right person to be making comments about 2.11BSD, however, I don't see why a SCSI DAT Drive wouldn't work in place of a TK50. I've installed RSTS/E and some of the layered products from DAT tapes. Though I still can't get DECnet/E to install from a DAT... (been threating to get back to working on that this weekend) Based on what little I've looked at 2.11BSD (I've never gotten it installed), I think that you can simply build the tape on a Unix box following instructions that are out there. I ran into two problems, I was trying to build the tape on a VMS box, and my SCSI controller wasn't supported at the time. BTW, if you're going SCSI, a TZ30 would be a potential option instead of a TK50 (though I prefer cleaning TK50 drives to TZ30 drives). Zane -- -- | Zane H.
