Okay, we'll start with the basics.

Ultrix-11 doesn't support SCSI disks, as far as I am aware. What hardware

Hi all,
I just noticed that images of a full RX50 floppy set for Ultrix-32m 1.2 was
posted on Bitsavers (
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/vax/ultrix/1.2/ULTRIX-32M_V1.2_RX50_1986.zip
). I am having difficulty parsing these images into a usable raw format
for SIMH.

Later versions of 2.9BSD had TCP/IP though the hardware support was pretty
limited. And you could probably use the present tense for 2.11BSD, it's
still getting patches.

There's no mystery here, it's just someone being either greedy or overly
aspirational. A $1k item that sells is worth more than a $20k one that
doesn't. Ebay listing fees are free, so you're free to be as aspirational
as you like for as long as you like.
