I ran into a YouTube video, that it is 5 years old,
titled "Ultrix-11
3.1 on an emulated PDP-11/73" and I found it very interesting.
It shows installation of Ultrix-11 under SIMH.? The fellow steps through
the installation process and appears to be quite knowable.
I wanted to replicate it but couldn't locate the *.tap file used in the
video that was an image of the bootable TK50 distribution.
Bitsavers and tuhs.org have Ultrix-11 files, but not the bootable tape
image.
Anyone know where the tape image is located?
The "install tape" was distributed as a series of files which have to
be written to a real tape with different block sizes. So if you have a
directory with more than one .tap file, look for a shell script to write
those to a tape drive ... There you will see, which file made the real
boot tape ...
