Cool, patches for old OSes! I wonder what could be considered the "Newest"
patch for the "Oldest" OS. I wouldn't include OSes that are being actively
maintained, as in FreeBSD being a continuation of the original BSD open
source codebase.

Subject: 4.3bsd/quasijarus w/ts11 (I have a fix)
I know that many of you out there are running 4.3bsd-quasijarus on your
vax 11/780's, 750's and 730's.
And you've probably been wondering why the probe of the TS11 controller
in your unibus is failing and you can't get your tape drive to work.
Go ahead, admit it. You've been wondering.
If you see messages like this when booting:
zs0 at uba0 csr 172520 didn't interrupt
The you have the problem.
Well, I found a fix. Well, actually, Chris Torek, who made the change
which
broke the TS11 probe code also offered a 'quick
fix', and it's here:

(I'm sending this more as an archive so the next luser like me who can't
figure out why his ts11 won't work may be lucky enough to get a google hit
:-)
