No, this is not a joke.  I really have an 11/785 here, and I'd like to
upgrade it to Ultrix 4.2.  It's currently running some flavor of
4.3bsd.  I have all the proper Ultrix/AT&T licenses; the machine is
registered with DEC's ESL program here at Stanford.

The problem is that Stanford will only distribute Ultrix on TK50.
That doesn't do me a lot of good.  (When I told them I didn't have a
TK50 they offered to lend me a TK50 drive to connect to my SCSI port.
I don't think they know what a 785 is.)

Does anyone (perhaps someone at DEC) have the distribution for a 780
or 785 they could lend me?  There should be 4 RX01 diskettes labeled
"ULTRIX v4.2 RX01 BOOT" for booting, and some number of 1600bpi 1/2"
tapes with the actual distribution.

Thanks,

Larry
