All this talk about compatibility...was there ever
UNIX made for the PDP
11/40 and RL02, or was it only run on RK05? Wouldn't all of the C and wake
calls, etc issues have been solved then? Why is this an issue now? I am
largely ignorant to the details but from 20000 feet it would seem like this
would have been taken care of long ago. No need for pre-processing code,
etc. Please educate me if I am wrong, just curious.

for laughs I wandered over to:
http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/mirrors/minnie.tuhs.org/PDP-11/Boot_Images/
To see if the copy of V6 on RL02 is still there.... yep it is. and it
runs on a 11/23 just fine
as thanks to someone I have a copy on RL02 that I boot from time to time.
Seems the problem is solved. If memory serves it cannot use more than
256K even if the
machine is Q22.
