RE: [TUHS] LoC now involved with saving digital history

by Ian King

This sounds similar to some work with which I'm involved at the University of Washington.

[pups] (no subject)

by Christos Papachristou

I would like to do a bad sector scan on a RD52 connected to a RQDX1 (The machine is a pdp11/73 without OS) prior to installing BSD2.11.Is there a standalone program like zrqch0(only for RQDX3) that can be downloaded directly to the pdp via vtserver and recognizes the RQDX1 , i.e. a version of zrqb or something similar?

Wild long shot.... I used to write grants for this kind of thing. Find out more info and point me to where the granting info is and lets make a collective grunt to see if something is possible. Heck, all kinds of funds are available if you submit the right kinds of proposals. Yeah, I know, it is a pipedream, but.....(:+}}... Bob Keys (stirring the history pot, gently.....)

Hello fron Gregg C Levine Um no. I was thinking of V7, of the original UNIX. As it happens, I am still not comfortable with the earlier versions of BSD. So, I am interested in getting V7, or V6 to work via a networked environment. And yes, I have seen your file, and the read me for it. Gregg C Levine drwho8(a)worldnet.att.net "Oh my!"

[pups] Test

by Gregg C Levine

Test! Sorry for the disturbance. Just a routine test message to confirm that the list is awake. I haven't gotten anything since sometime in the past. Gregg C Levine drwho8(a)worldnet.att.net "This signature wants to be playing in the snow!"

Waking the List Up

by Warren Toomey

I guess it's time to wake the list up. So far the Unix Archive has done well at collecting mostly PDP-11 stuff, but now that were in the next century, we should start working on the 1980s and 1990s. I'd like to call for volunteer curators. Each would look after a subset of the Unix Archive: add files, write README.TXT, rearrange things to be more useful. The Archive has been pretty static for quite some time now, and there are a list of things TODO, and I know some of you have things waiting which I haven't done yet. So perhaps some new blood, will kick things along. Any volunteers?

This list is most definitely low-volume. Speak up, please. We can't hear you up here under the snow. Norman Wilson In a naughtly rosewood igloo somewhere near Toronto, ON
