I've got Ultrix RISC 4.4 and two out of the three product library disks on
CDROM. They're what I used to install my DS5000's. I'm not sure if 4.4
will run on a 3100 or not, but I'd be glad to copy these for you if you
like.

Subject: Ultrix installation media
I just picked up a pair of DECstation 3100's. Both of them are in
perfect working order, apart from their drives being quite severely
dead (they won't spin up, though they give it the old college try).
Supposedly (and quite believably), the most recent version of
NetBSD/pmax is quite a bit nicer and better performing than Ultrix
ever was, but for historical and nostalgic reasons, I was really
hoping to be able to run Ultrix 4.2a on these guys.
Does anyone have Ultrix 4.2a distribution media? Alas, I do not have
a TK50 drive; I know that was the usual distribution method, but I'm
hoping it was also available on CDROM. For some horribly sick reason
I miss Ultrix, and it would be nice to play with again.
