Did anyone ever port MINIX to the PDP-11?
No way.
I vaguely recall lore about 4.x BSD stuff being ported to the PDP-11 ending
with the machine being thrown out of the window. Citations are welcome, or
maybe this should be crossed over to TUHS.
Well, many parts of 4.x BSD did get backported to 2.11BSD. But some
stuff just will never happen. But I agree with the "no way" comment on
Minix.
ObSimh:
For the 2012 retro challenge I ported an IRC client to to 2.11 BSD, about
half way I seriously considered adding a window emulator for simh instead.
That must have been a pretty horrible irc client in that case. I've
written a small irc client for RSX, which takes all about 12K (written
in BASIC). Inspired by sic, which is only a couple of hundred lines of C
for Unix.
