Subject: [TUHS] First Unix that could run on a PDP-11 with QBUS

Version 5.x supported the Pro325/350. I assume the 380 also worked.
They did the emulation for the screen. IIRC they did VT52 console support
so K52 worked. I don't think they added VT100 support.
The Pro was a pretty nice RT box. Too bad they didn't use that instead of
the annoying menu driven POS.
Venix for the Pro was a free download on the net when I last looked.
It's still mentioned here as a download.
