Is the PRO350 distro of 2.9BSD on the 4-CD set of ancient Unices? I'd
look at the label myself, but I'm at work and it isn't.
I'm glad this stuff has been preserved... I had a copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy
of 2.9BSD on 1600BPI magtape that fell on me from a DEC Field-Servoid about
15 years ago, but the source tape had read errors. :-(
I even have some Pro hardware sitting in a corner - lots of it hit the
thrift stores about 6 years ago - you could get a complete system for $10.
I even had someone come to my house to give one away! It has VENIX on it
and works, but he forgot the root password and I never had the time to
go crack it. In any case, I'd love to drop a larger disk on it (larger
than the RD52 that's in there) and spin up some BSD.
When you get this all working, I'd love to hear about it. I don't have any
Qbus PDP-11s better than a KDF-11, so I'm kinda locked out of 2.11BSD.
