Since I occasionally get questions about real machines for reference or
testing, I figured I should announce that after some work, Update have
brought their PDP-11/70 back to life, and on line.
It is accessible from HECnet as MAGICA:: and on the Internet as
Magica.Update.UU.SE.
telnet is listening on both port 23 and 10023.
ftp is listening on both port 21 and 10021.
An HTTP server is also running on the machine, where you can even see a
picture of the machine serving. (http://magica.update.uu.se)
A guest account is available on the machine, and people are free to
request accounts of their own as well.
The machine as such is a PDP-11/70 running RSX-11M-PLUS V4.6 with some
improvements, with (at the moment) one UDA-50, one RL-11, and one DELUA.
Four RA73 disks, one RL02 disk, and the console terminal. 3.5 Meg of
memory and an FPP.
I try to keep as many tools as I have available on Magica. So you have
both PDP-11 C and DECUS C. BASIC+2, F77, Datatrieve, Oregon Pascal,
XLISP, BCPL, FMS-11, Kermit-11, ZEMU, Mail-11, RATFIV, PDP-11 Symbolic
Debugger, RTEM-11, Sort/Merge, as well as DECnet and my TCP/IP.
Feel free to play around, experiment, play games, or whatever (most
Infocom games are there as well). But please behave.
If anyone have questions, I am happy to answer them. On the web page
served, there is also a link to a bunch of manuals for RSX, networking
and layered products.
And just for completeness sake, in addition to Magica, Update is also
running MIM, which is an emulated PDP-11/74 with pretty much the same
software setup, but of course way faster. Only one CPU online though,
since the 11/74 emulation in E11 have some bugs that cause it to be
unstable when I bring additional CPUs online.
(The RSX manuals are actually served by Mim.)
I hope people will find it interesting/useful/amusing.
Johnny
