Net/2: still at ftp.uu.net

Net/2: still at ftp.uu.net

[Warren Toomey]

In article by J. Joseph Max Katz:

As far as I can tell (at a quick glance), the distribution is intact.
I'm just comparing cksums between the Net/2 on the CSRG CD#2 and from
the ftp site. I'm only doing sys/kern and sys/ufs.

Absolutely no difference. diff on all file pairs gives no output.
cksum gives the same checksums for each file pair (CD vs ftp).

Hmm.....

It appears that several files from sys/kern and sys/ufs
have been removed. All files still in these directories
are intact. I haven't examined any other directories.

They're in a safer legal position.

   Then until/unless Warren tells me otherwise, I'll keep Net/2 together
with the real 4BSD distributions in Distributions/4bsd/net2, readable by
the members of the pupsarc group only.

   Dear PUPS/TUHS members,
   
   All 4BSD distributions formerly in my home directory on minnie are now
in the Distributions/4bsd directory. This directory is now owned by me, and
from now on I will be maintaining PUPS's 4BSD collection.

This one I know the answer to.  "Tahoe" was the internal name for a computer
called the "Compter Consoles Inc. 632."  (At least that's what I recall."
The machine itself was a light grey cube about the size of a VAX 750 CPU.
The cube housed the CPU,  the disk drives (Fujitsu "Super Eagles" I think)
and an auto-loading tape drive.  If I recall correctly,  the manufacturer
was located in Rochester, New York,  USA.
 
I used to sys admin one of these beasts -- a *long* time ago.  They were
pretty durable:  mine not only survived an air condioner failure during
which the temperature rose to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit,  it actually
kept on working without a break for several hours!
 
It was a good box,  an attempt at a "VAX-killer,"  but it never really
managed to grab a substantial base from DEC's boxes.
