Does anyone know of a version of Unix that will run on a PDP 11/23
with 256 RAM and 2 RLO2s.  I've received this machine with an old RT11
version on it and don't feel up to learning this OS.

Someone suggested I upgrade it to an 11/73 and possibly run bsd's 
public domain version (2.1 I think).  Who should I contact about
this bsd information and approx. how much would an upgrade to an 
11/73 cost?

I would prefer to run Unix on the system as is if possible. 
Is it worth the time and effort to investigate these questions?

Thanks,

Frank Gossett
