As far as I remember this particular OS only runs on a limited subset of

get some joy from SIMH however.

I was poking around Google today and came across
4.3BSD Quasijarus as
something that might be interesting to try in SIMH and maybe on my
VAXstation, but the ftp site seems to be empty. Does anybody have a
mirror of the Quasijarus 0c distro? Without seeing the files, I don't
have any idea how it is distributed... I'm hoping it's a CD-ROM image
so I can install easily on my vaxstation--anybody know? And yes,
NetBSD is just too new for me :)
Looks like a set of file that are decompressed and then written to a
tape and then the VAX is booted from that tape.
