I now have V6 running on the physical hardware, booting from an RD52 on an RQDX3 MSCP controller, and announcing 488KW of available RAM at boot. Here's the write-up: https://www.hamartun.priv.no/v6unix.html I am *so* looking forward to continuing work on this system (it's just barely running, since a couple of days ago), and your web page about improving V6 will certainly be my launch pad for the next rounds. -tih -- Most people who graduate with CS degrees don't understand the significance of Lisp.
