My setup is an 11/70 running BSD 2.11. I ?dd? the RL

one of the file systems (I have the equivalent of 4 RP06 drives) and then
ftp it to where I want it (since the 11/70 is on my network?actually at one
point it was on the internet where anybody could log-in). I can also do
that with RK05?s and RX02?s. ;-)
If I had a large setup like that, I would totally do it that way. If
I could get the DWBUA working in my 8300 and add the DEBNT, I might
use that rig (with various Unibus interfaces).
What I have handy is a Qbus KDF11-based box and some smallish Unibus
hardware (BA11-L with either KD11-D or KD11-E). Disk is no problem on
the MicroPDP, but I don't really have a lot of Unibus disk larger than
RL02.
This is why I'm looking at faster alternatives to vtserver. Something
that fits on a floppy or TU58 image and has a total in-memory
footprint of 56Kbytes is fantastic, but something that fits in
248kbytes is essential. I have a number of DR11-C and DRV11 modules,
so that's a totally viable method. I am not blessed with an abundance
of Ethernet in my DEC collection.
