Hey All --
So, instead of debugging my 11/40 last night I decided to get my 11/73
running again since all it needed was to be put back together :). ?Installed
2.11BSD on it...
Nice. I have lots of experience with 2.9BSD, but I only have one or
two machines that could run 2.11BSD (and thanks to a fellow
listmember, my Pro380 has a new PSU, so is a likely target).
from TK50 tape, and it was only slightly faster than
the last
time I installed it -- at 19.2kbps using vtserver :).
Nobody ever pulled over a TK50 for speeding.
At any rate, it's online, so to speak, so if you
feel like playing around,
just telnet to yahozna.dyndns.org...
Neat. Thanks!
Is there a repository of source/binaries for stuff
people have (back) ported
to 2.11BSD? ?I'm thinking of seeing if I can squeeze an older version of
Apache on it if I ever find the time...
I don't know about anything as new as Apache (I can see the amount of
process-space memory being an issue and having to write overlays), but
for older BSD machines, I'd browse the old comp.sources.unix and
comp.sources.games repositories.
(Specs, just in case anyone cares:
11/73 CPU,
2mb RAM,
TK50 tape,
DEQNA ethernet,
TS11 -> M4 9 track (currently non functional)
Emulex U07 SCSI -> SCSI->IDE bridge -> IBM Microdrive (4gb))
Nice. The microdrive is a nice touch. I should pick up a SCSI->IDE
bridge or two for such occasions (though my largest Microdrive is
340MB).
As a PDP-11 and BSD fan, let me say - nice job.
