What Bob says is absolutely true. There are loads of distribution kits on bitsavers.org that will allow you to install various O/S on the sims from first principals.
It may involve a bit of browsing on that Internet thingy. There are a lot of good archived mailing lists/ blogs and websites where someone will have done it already. E.g: http://ancientbits.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/installing-rsx-11m-46-from-scratch-part.html Getting a new operating system running is one of the most exciting things that you can do with your clothes on. 😊 Regards, Sandy.

This works better for simple, stand-alone applications that for full operating systems with layered products installed, some of which (like VMS) require licenses and media from the vendor. /Bob On 5/31/2016 12:54 PM, [email protected] wrote: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 12:09:13 -0400 > From: Ray Jewhurst<[email protected]> > To: simh<[email protected]> > Subject: [Simh] So far unnamed project > Message-ID: > <CAMFEAAAfh32JvQ6jOGFcyk=hfahc3sxnkhwclpkcv4vtuoq...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Greetings all > > I am a total computer history buff.
