Interesting puzzle. My first Ultrix was 1.1 on an 11/730 (I had prior experience with 4BSD on an 11/750) > Now, with the most recent fix, that turns out not to be the > case.

I have a lot of experience with VMS and UNIX on the 11/750, 11/730, MicroVAX I and II, and even the 8200 (the machines I used every day from about 1984-1994), from installation to writing/debugging system code and device drivers. I don't know that I have deep enough experience to adopt a machine, but I'm happy to help and test and fix what I can see. -ethan _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
