Greetings All!

A few weeks ago I was able to finally fulfill a long-time
goal of mine - a PDP-11 of my very own!  It's an 11/34 with
256 kb and two RK05 disks - limited, yes, but functional
(not according to my wife, however!).

Right now I'm running RT-11, but would like to experiment
with Unix or a unix-like op sys.  I posted a request in
comp.sys.dec and the consensus was that for a hobbyist's
machine, ANY version of REAL Unix is going to be cost-
prohibitive because of the licensing fees.  Someone 
suggested that I try Xinu, hence, this post.

I was told that Doug Comer's book was originally written 
for the PDP-11.  Is this true?  And if so, is it possible 
to get a copy of that version of the book?  If it was 
originally written for the 11, is it possible to get the
source in computer-readable format?  I have access to RX02
floppys, magtape, paper-tape, or what-have-you.

E-mail or posting here will be fine, and much appreciated!
