Subject: [pups] Unix on a PDP-11/24
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 12:27:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8D25F244B8274141B5D313CA4823F39C057A234E@red-msg-06.redmond.corp.microsoft.com> (raw)
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. --

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