By the way, I understand that there is something in

Mentec or Mentec approved re hobby licenses for PDP-11 operating systems.
I understand that since it is being done for free, it is taking much longer than
expected (it was hoped to be done already), but one aspect that will probably
be included is to allow real DEC hardware - at the very least. For RT-11,
the allowed versions will probably be extended to at least V5.05, but may
not include V5.06, but since I am not directly involved, I will have to wait
just like everyone else. I don't know if a ten year rule is being used as an
implicit standard, but that may be the case if V5.06 is not allowed, but V5.05
is permitted.
Great! I'd emailed them about this the other day but got no response yet.
Hopefully the news will be confirmed
by the end of the year - maybe sooner - maybe before COMPAQ sells the Alpha
design team.
Whoops, too late. 8-)
