Does anyone know what the default BREAK/Interrupt key combination is on
the AT&T 3B1 / 7300 UNIX PC?
I was expecting Ctrl-C, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
(I'm trying to kill off a long-running task which I've lost patience in
ever completing!)
Thanks,

Have you tried the DEL key? Or if you can get a prompt, "stty -a"
should tell you.

It's Shift-Esc. At least that's what it is in the emulator in single-user mode.
By the way, I've gotten Unix to install on the hard drive. However,
loading the window system driver fails (I've traced it as far as
drvalloc, which is failing with EFAULT when it tries to copy the
parameters from userspace), so it just drops into a single-user shell
at the moment. I'll send you my patches soon. I'm still using the
version with the old MMU implementation though.

The emulator remaps a few keys due to them not being on the PC keyboard;
I'll check the map list when I next have a chance.

I'd be really interested in getting a copy of your patches for that,
even if they're against the oldMMU branch. There's a good chance I can
forward-port the fixes to newMMU.
In any case, it sounds like you've made a ton of progress with it :D
Any chance you could make a unified diff (diff -Nauwr) or Mercurial
patch export, zip or tar-gzip them up and send them along?
I'm toying with the idea of moving Freebee onto Atlassian's Bitbucket
source-code hosting site; at least that'd make it easier for people to
submit patches (TL/DR: make your changes on a branch, push to your fork
of the original repository, then submit a pull request through the website).
Thanks,

You can try Control-Z which will put it in the background, then kill %1
(or whatever the task # is).
You can then play with stty intr (hit control V, then control C) to
define a new interrupt, and add that to your .profile
