VTserver is different from 2.11BSD. VTserver will run in 192K of

memory (for a PDP-11) to run.
However, I'm running it on a 4MB 11/70 and it's quite happy! :-)

Interesting -- I got inspired tonight and I spent a few hours with
VTServer getting 2.11BSD installed on the /73, with the 512k ram board
installed -- it seems to run okay, though I haven't done much with it
yet (Only have the root partition copied over, looks like getting the
rest of the tar files installed will be more of a challenge...).
Guess the 1mb ram requirement isn't strictly enforced -- maybe if I
get _really_ crazy, I'll try it with 256k :).
Thanks for the suggestion, but my (eventual) goal
is to get 2.11BSD
running on the /73, so I'll probably need more than 256k of memory
working. I have a 512k board I could steal from my MicroVax I (in
fact, I may just do that for the time being...), but I'd really like
to repair the board I have at some point.
A quick google gives 1 meg ram and
separate I&D is needed for 2.11 BSD.
