PDP-11 Unix V7M-11 V1.0 under SIMH

[Chris Zach]

*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)
