Recently Al Kossow made available a zip file containing a Micro/PDP-11
installation kit for Unix V7M-11 V1.0 on bitsavers as RX50 disk images.
Tinkering away here in Covid lockdown, I've managed to get this running
under SIMH pdp11 emulating an almost historically accurate PDP-11/23 plus.
I've placed the SIMH initialisation file, a couple of RD51 disk images and
an "installation recipe" for making these disks on GitHub at -
https://github.com/agn453/V7M-11
While I mainly had exposure to later versions of Unix and Ultrix-11 on
a PDP-11/70 as an undergraduate - this one surely brings back memories!

Glad to hear that worked out for you. I obtained those floppies from a
friend doing some work for UW Madison back in the day. I provided Al
scans of the manuals, too, but they have not been put up on bitsavers yet.

*Neat*! I was thinking of trying to lay this down on a real 11/23+ here
at the house, then realized I didn't have two RD51's. Can it gen on an
RD53 by chance, I could upload one of those to a disk in a weekend or
immediately with the Dave Gesswin emulator (which I need to return but
we're just about to pull out those big Perqs)
