Interesting, I didn't know a /23 could run V7--all

I think it
would come down to disk drivers. If the kernel will
run on
an 11/70, there's no difference I can think of off the top of my head
why it wouldn't run on a KDJ-11, unless there's something about the
22-bit Unibus mapping on the 11/70 vs no mapping on the Qbus.
Disks, though... a 11/73 is likely to have an MSCP disk controller,
but the 11/70 has quite a number of supported disk controllers.
Yes, and there's no MSCP driver for V7. Even the RL driver was a
special case.
Wasn't the MSCP driver backported from 2.11BSD to something
earlier? Hmm, come to think of it, I think that was 2.9BSD, not V7.
Hmm, MSCP on my PDP-11/24. 8-)
