Same here. I did save a few (maybe I can send you one, if you're jonesin'
for it) but haven't messed with them in awhile. I don't think I have any
5000s, but certainly a few 2100s and 3100s.
It makes me feel like a real whippersnapper to
admit it, but ULTRIX 4.2
on a DECstation 3100 was my first introduction to any flavor of UNIX.
There was a small NFS cluster of three DECstations on campus, supporting
remote logins for a couple hundred users (not simultaneously,
obviously). It's where I cut my teeth.
Excellent.
You never forget your first UNIX.
SysV on a 3B1, here. But I ran a whole bunch of Ultrix on a whole bunch of
DECstations. (and VAXen, and PDP-11s..) I do like Ultrix.
