Okay, now you almost have me curious enough to get 2.11BSD up and

my /73. I've run the others on /73's, but never UNIX. Last time I
looked
2.11BSD doesn't have the necessary patches applied to the
distribution to
work with my Viking SCSI controller.
It's cool, but *really* slow. Dicking with the overlays when
building new kernels is fun the first few times, but after that..
That said, though, I do keep an 11/83 ready-to-boot with 2.11BSD
because it's very handy to be able to squirt disk images around via
FTP and dd them to and from physical disks.

It's damnably slow, but at least it works.
Yep. The scary thing is...an OS like RSX-11 or RSTS/E is quite
zippy on a machine like that.
