Installing an operating system on an 11/83

[Chris Zach]

There is. What's in my floppy pile here:

Micro RSX11 	4.0 9 floppies base
Micro RSTS	2.1 20 floppy disks
Ultrix 11	2.0 30 floppy disks

I think installing 30 floppy disks would be an exercise in insanity: 
That would probably wear down an RX50 drive to the nubbins.

I also seem to have PRO/RDT, Pro/Fortran, Pro/Cobol, Venix 1.0, P/OS 1.7 
and P/OS 2.0/Synergy. Man I have a lot of stuff here.
