[pups] DZ11 and UNIX V6

[Wolfgang Helbig]

Hi

I tried the latest simulator from Bob Supnik, Simh V2.9-6.
It simulates DZ11 multiline controllers. Are they supported in UNIX V6.

If not, which of the supported ones are closest to DZ11, so I would write
a driver for them.

TIA

Wolfgang

Would AUSAM have any DZ11 drivers? There are several AUSAM tapes in
the Unix Archive, and AUSAM was a deriative of V6.

How about

The DZ and DH are totally different beasts. The DZ had a 256 word input silo
and interrupt per output character, while the DH was DMA.

There is certainly support for DZ's in V7. It shouldn't be too hard to back port
it to V6
