I managed to install a fairly weird tape kit
containing V2.0 BL8
of DEC's OSF/1 UNIX offering for their MIPS-based "DECstation"
line of systems.
It actually runs pretty good. Even on a very small machine (the
first test system was a DS2100 (12.5MHz R2000 with 24MB ;-) it
works fine. Even LAT works like a charm :)
How does it compare to Ultrix 4.5 on the same system? Not that I've ever
gotten Ultrix up and running on my DECstation 5000/133 (it was purchased to
run NetBSD).
BTW, you've gotten me thinking, does Tru64 V5 support LAT? If so I just
might have to play around with setting up a spare box to run Tru64.
