Five years ago I was running 2.9BSD on an *emulated* PDP-11 on my SPARC1. I
would refer you to the BSD web pages for a hardware compatibility list, but
for smaller PDP's (11/24, 11/34, etc.), they can run 2.9BSD. Things like
MSCP (SCSI, SDI, etc.) weren't added until later versions of 2BSD, but to
run _them_, you need an 11/44 or 11/73 or the like.

Go join PUPS (The PDP-11 UNIX Preservation Society). You can get a $100
license for 2BSD and then go get 2.11BSD for your 11/73.
