I've acquired a PDP-11/24 with 2 RL02s and a RA80. What are my options
for running Unix?

Ultrix-11 if you can get a 9-track tape drive. :-)

You could also run Unix v6, if you're of a historical bent; 2.9BSD
should run with no problems; and possibly v7, if you have the 22-bit
address bus and enough RAM. Keep in mind that if there isn't a
distribution for your machine, you can build one on an emulator, then
create a disk image. However, with v6 I ran the 11/40 image on an 11/34
and was able to rebuild for my hardware.
Warren wrote a neat tool to get bits onto a machine over a serial line;
it takes a while (at 9600 baud!), but it works. Look on the PUPS site
under VTserver; don't worry that there probably isn't an installation
package for a given version or machine, there's a way to run a small
client on a PC that can talk to a bootstrap on the target machine. --

Either a small system like V7, or Ultrix-11.
And no, you don't need a tape drive... as long as you have a PC
around, and the PDP-11 has a serial port, you can use my VTserver
package to install Ultrix over the console port.
Cheers,
Fred
