Yep, in fact some string about an "Smp lock" is the first
string in the vmunix, this is what I used to find the
region in this file.01 combo where vmunix starts.

Ah, THANK YOU for that confirmation. I still wasn't quite sure
if the 6000-400 was fully supported but now I know. Do you
know if Ultrix 4.2 ever really worked on the 6000-400? I am
actually planning to going back (for reasons of certain source
code availability etc. mumble, mumble.)

Is it not? It appeared to me that CIBCA was mentioned somewhere.
Doesn't even the 11/780 have a CI interface, I can't believe
Ultrix doesn't support it??? I have a CIBCA user manual and an
HSC user manual, so, if need be I will try to port an existing
CI driver to support CIBCA.

Actually I really thank Hans for that suggestion. I give it a shot.
It really is time well spent to set up some INET protocol support.
Even if it's for sucking just 10 MB. I'm sure that my tape boot
won't work the first time, so I will try the CMUIP right away.
Another question to Jonnie would be if you still have an Ultrix
4.4 boot tape around? If so, I could still use it. I will have
to change my transmission on my car instead of a Year-End party
and there's other stuff to do. So, I would not mind being saved
from spending a night cutting together my 4.5 boot tape :-)
thanks,
