I have run into a major snag with trying to get BSD2.10 for my lonely PDP11/23+ in the operating systems lab and need a kind soul to help out. My delima, I want to order BSD2.10, for that matter, I already have Departmental approval to do just that, so I called Usenix to find out if I can get 2.10 on anything other than 1600 BPI tape, the answer was a firm no, not even on 800 BPI tape. Well, fine, I can still get the source and download it to my MicroVax II, and wait for it too find its way across the ethernet connection to the PDP, which is currently running Xinu, but I don't think that even with a little help from entry that this will happen in my lifetime 8-). So the request is... Can someone make me a bootable distribution on any of the following antique equipment... RX01, RX02, RX50, RL01, RL02, RK05, or possibly, I can mail someone my RD52, and let them mail it back with an OS. I really need just a bare minimum kernel, and then I can build things up over the ethernet. Any help more be very greatly appreciated, I mean Xinu is really fun to learn with, but kind of a pain to do a major project with. -kdb -- Kevin D. Bond kdb@cscosl.ncsu.edu ...!mcnc!ncsuvx!kdb
