I've assembled some notes from old manuals and other sources
on the formats used for on-disk file systems through the
Seventh Edition:

Additional notes, comments on style, and whatnot are welcome.
(It may be sensible to send anything in the last two categories
directly to me, rather than to the whole list.)
Hi,
I successfully made SIMH VAX-11/780 emulator run 32V, 3BSD and 4.0BSD.
Details are on my web site (thogh rather tarse):

Enjoy!

before I do some code spelunking, does anyone here know the history of
termios? I've been doing some serial programming recently and wondering
how things got to the way they are... why is VTIME an inter-character
timer instead of a timer for an entire VMIN block, for instance?

I was going to upload the various man pages of 32/V so I'd have a 'nice'
collection of them, and to help with my eventual conversion of the help text
into RTF for a windows helpfile when I was reading through the number
command...
http://gunkies.org/wiki/32v_1m_number
Number copies the standard input to the standard output, changing each
> decimal number to a fully spelled out version. Punctuation is added to make
> the output sound well when played through speak(1).
So it seems that VAX's could do audio at some point? Does anyone know how
it worked? Naturally the speak command seems to be missing, but it does
seem very interesting...!
I wonder if this was the start of the UNIX/IVR relationship....?
Thanks!
Jason

Dear All,
I have a number of old Unix™ ½ inch reel to reel tapes. I would dearly love to transfer
the contents, if readable, to a more modern medium. If anyone has the facility to do this
please contact me. I'm located in the United Kingdom.
They are 800 or 1600 BPI, 9 track and, I suspect, NRZI encoded. They should be compatible
with DEC reel-to-reel drives, probably most others.
They contain various PDP/LSI-11 versions of AT&T Bell Research Laboratories UNIX™
Edition 6 and 7. The Bell tapes (1, 2 and 3) are for PDP-11/45 with other drivers.
The EUUG (European Unix Users Group) tape has kernels for various LSI-11 models
including LSI-11/23. It also contains a large number of contributed utilities.
There is more info at http://www.andycowley.com/Unix/tapes.html
