Hi Mark,
In http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2002-November/004634.html
I see you're looking for an Emulex UC04 manual. Did you find it? If
you have it available electronically, can I please have a copy?
The reason I ask is that I just bought a PDP11/73 and have a problem
getting 2.11BSD installed. See http://original.xs4all.nl/elfje/
TIA,

I see you've found a somewhat-common chicken-and-the-egg problem while
trying to load 2BSD on your box. Have you examined "vttape"? It's
a virtual tape program that lets you force-feed a PDP-11 via a PeeCee
over the console port.
I haven't used it, but from what other people say about it, it's probably
the least-additional-hardware-intensive way to go.

Yes, that is what it does. It
assists in getting *something*
onto the bare iron, using the console serial link (which is
obviously always there). This is slow (usually, 9600bps or
less..) but: it *does* let you install things.
Bert: contact me off-list for a phone chat.

Back to LynxOS...
