Heinz,

Using LSX on the 11/03, what did= you use for interaction with the outside world? The SLU of the time had on= ly one port I believe, and that would be tied up with the console terminal.= Will LSX handle cards with multiple serial ports? Was there a favoured dig= ital or analog I/O board with some form of kernel support?

I do believe that it would be easier to use LSX source code,
but I also know that some folks at universities were able
to modify the source for Mini-UNIX to run on 11/03 in
the mid-70's because of the two, only Mini-UNIX source
code was available to universities.

Team,

I=E2=80=99ve read thru the FAQ and other sour= ces regarding compatibility of Research and other flavours on the PDP-11. I have two physical machines, an 11/03 and an 11/23+. I=E2=80=99m choosing which version to use on each mac= hine.

Is LSX the only option on the 11/03, or could I run V6 or Mini-Unix with more RAM?

From the FAQ, it says V7 would support 11/23 with kernel recompilation, I assume includes 11/23+. I see 2.11BSD would also run on a =E2=80=9823 (and + I guess) with = 1MB or more of RAM, so that would be preferred. I suppose 2.11 would be preferable.

I also have found another 11/23+ system from a seller here in China. There=E2=80=99s the system, and a VT1= 00, and a hard drive I can=E2=80=99t identify. Here=E2=80=99s a p= hoto, does anyone know what it is? I may bid for it...
