I even had someone come to my house to give one away! It has VENIX on it
and works, but he forgot the root password and I never had the time to
go crack it
The Venix distribution was up on the DECUS site so you can get it
free... I'd have killed for the source code.
Right. I have distro floppies, minus the starting disk. The donor had
no idea where it was, and at the time, VENIX was still being sold (not
being *bought* mind you, just available should anyone _really_ want it ;-)
If I could build a bootable VENIX disk that would dump me to a prompt,
I wouldn't have to worry about what the old password was.
