ISTR having run 7.2 briefly on an 11/785 (to
troubleshoot an install
problem with 6.2), and while I didn't do much with it, it did come up and
run. And I've used 7.2 quite a bit on 3100-series machines with minimal
RAM. Granted, I didn't try to do anything resource-intensive, but I did
run the machines over serial. -- Ian
Recently upgraded from 6.2 to 7.3 in order to install TCP/IP Services instead
of CMU/IP (discussed in this list at the time). Runs very nicely. For comparison
to Christian Gauger-Cosgrove's SimH instance:
