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 from TK50 tape, and it was only slightly faster than the last
time I installed it -- at 19.2kbps using vtserver :).
Nice - I remember putting
2.11 on my '73 with VTServer certainly took
long enough, even at 34.4Kbps! At least with the TK50 you get to use
the original installation programs on a proper terminal.
At any rate, it's online, so to speak, so if you
feel like playing around,
just telnet to
yahozna.dyndns.org. ?(login: guest, password Guest1!) Be
kind, it's not the speediest thing out there.
Your disk is probably a bit
quicker than the rickety RD53 I used ;-)
Did you recompile for DEQNA support? That took my machine a good
couple of hours, after working through the overlay size issues.
?I figure it's rather unlikely
it'll be hacked into, and if it is, worst case I can restore the drive from
the image I made of it...
More likely to de DoS'ed by hoards of classic
computer geeks ;-)
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...
That I'd like to see, although I'm
not sure how it'll run with 2MB of
RAM. There are other HTTP servers out there though, of course...
Cheers,
