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 best Andy Cowley This email was independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were found _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

TROPPO CAFFE POCO CERVELLO 9 - MEETING 2,3,4 OCTOBER 2009

by asbesto

ZCZC SPREAD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! :) The Freaknet and Dyne.org hackers are delighted to invite you to a Poetry Hacklab on-site and on-line event: TROPPO CAFFE' POCO CERVELLO 9 ============================= 2nd, 3rd, 4th (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) October 2009, Palazzolo Acreide, at the misterious center "Lisbeth Salander" in the Palazzolo Acreide countryside http://dyne.org/tcpc Italian version: http://poetry.freaknet.org/static/tcpc9 What is it? =========== It's Poetry! It's Art, IT'S DELIRIUM! IT'S ALL AND NOTHING, YIN AND YANG, GOPHER and ARCHIE! Now at the 9th edition, the "Troppo Caffe' Poco Cervello" (too much coffee, too less brain) it's a cultural and scientific happening that lasts three days where people from all the World (and beyond) are meeting in Palazzolo Acreide and via the Internet to share experiences, research, culture, poetry, art and science with the intention to create new and beautiful things to donate to the community. This edition will have people from all Sicily and also foreign guests committed in advanced programming sessions, dissertations for beginners, scientific experiments, sumptuous lunches, enormous dinners and sleepless nights dedicated to the passion for computer science. Poems will be read, poems will be written, all and nothing will be discussed, weeds will be weeded, new weeds will be planted, debates will be happen, decisions will be taken, all and nothing will be done! Everyone can join, the important thing is to leave the brain at home and bring a lot of coffee! What will be done ================= We will do a lot of BEAUTIFUL and USELESS things: Radio link ---------- It's the first step to the world domination. The installation and the configuration of an amateur radio link WI-FI which will give raise to discussion about wireless technology, its use and some tricks (Netsukuku, OLSR, Fonera, hardware modifications, dd-wrt etc) by Asbesto IW9HGS and other radioamateurs possibly there. The distance that will be covered is 6.9Km :). MuSE ---- A group of programmers from the Freaknet and Poetry Hacklab will establish a on-line connection with dyne.org developers and follow this "code sprint" plan: http://lab.dyne.org/MuSE/SprintOct09 We want to develop a new version of MuSE streamer, a free application to make your own on-line radio and your voice heard all around the world, broadcasting audio files and live microphone all mixed in real time. (http://muse.dyne.org) Join us writing code or help translate the manual! Other activities ---------------- Artistic performances, strolls in the surroundings or anything you want could happen spontaneously; everything will be managed by the same people who could throw off activities, keeping in mind we should not disrupt the ANY the focus on the main activities described above. Everyone is invited! Logistics ========= How nice is to be seated on chairs! Food ---- Breakfast, lunch and dinner are completely self-managed so you're invited to bring food and drinks and share them with everyone! Lodging ------- If anyone needs to sleep... there are two beds which we will assign to the sleep of the weaks, you can sleep in a tent, so if you want to do so bring your own TENT! Hopefully another space will be available. You will need to adapt yourself to it because the objective is not to sleep! :) (obviously special neeeds of resting/lodging will be satified, so don't worry, we won't let you sleep on straw... maybe!) Donations --------- If you want to contribute money, you are very welcome to do so, via Paypal or even via bank wire-transfer. We have a clear plan for it: we hope we will gather some funds spreading this event and collect them to be invested in more software development on MuSE. This software is very important! a lot of people can use it completely for free to do radio, it is the way we can make free speech happen. But we have no money to continue development, which was stopped for more than 3 years now, so please donate some money! and you'll help us all provide concrete results and useful tools to all our communities. The plan is: we will develop a lot during TCPC9, package the application for existing distributions and update it to be stable and to use latest libraries. After the TCPC9 we will see what we've reached and what is still left to do, then we will put out tasks and money offers out of the money collected from your donations, so that more developers can get involved and help us finish the work. This is the first time we try to do this so pleaase don't leave us alone! spare some money NOW and you'll get QUALITY FREE SOFTWARE soon! Link for donations: http://poetry.freaknet.org/index.php/Troppocaffepococervello9#Donazioni or directly from http://dyne.org/tcpc !!! JOIN us ON-SITE =============== We will meet on Friday 2nd October 2009 in Palazzolo Acreide, at Poetry Hackab or directly to the tcpc location! To get there follow this map: http://poetry.freaknet.org/index.php/File:Screenshot1.png Follow SS2287 to Palazzolo Acreide, 2km before the start of the village there is a crossroad to Solarino/Ferla on the right handside, so turn right and follow SS124. Keep going until you see a small red house on your right, then take immediately the small street next to the house on the right and keep going until you get to the place.

flashterm

by Jason Stevens

I found this site the other day, and I thought it may be of interest to everyone.. http://www.flashterm.com/ It's a telnet client that runs in the flash runtime. I know with the proliferation of flash (and the odd removal of it in Vista machines) this could be a neat way to get people to 'try out' ancient unix... coupled with SIMH it looks like something interesting, esp as it seems all the java clients are not free.. well at least the ones I've found. Anyways, if anyone is interested to see it in action on a simulated VAX I've set one up here: http://75.127.119.16/telnet/ _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

default license, old CSRG RCS history? and BSD share/mk/*mk files?

by Jeremy C. Reed

For 4.4BSD files, if no copyright and license is listed for specific files, does the standard UCB license apply? Is there any file or statement that says the license covers all files which don't have a specific license in 4.4BSD-Lite ? Any RCS commit history for old CSRG code? I am looking for the authors/history/copyrights for BSD share/mk/files. I see that 4.4BSD-Alpha has: r--r--r-- 3/7 792 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/bsd.doc.mk r--r--r-- 3/7 3761 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk r--r--r-- 3/7 1574 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/bsd.man.mk r--r--r-- 3/7 4140 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk r--r--r-- 3/7 1244 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/bsd.subdir.mk r--r--r-- 3/7 1387 Aug 26 05:00 1992 usr/share/mk/sys.mk but missing the bsd.README I couldn't find these in the other old 4 and 3BSDs (via the tuhs archive). The share/mk/bsd.README from NetBSD import in 1993 has: # @(#)bsd.README 5.1 (Berkeley) 5/11/90 And sys.mk has: # @(#)sys.mk 5.11 (Berkeley) 3/13/91 And bsd.doc.mk: # @(#)bsd.doc.mk 5.3 (Berkeley) 1/2/91 _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

New patch for 2.11BSD on PDP-11: network DEUNA does not respond to ethernet broadcasts

by Jörg Hoppe

I found and patched an error in the network driver for UNIBUS ethernet controllers DEUNA/DELUA in 2.11BSD for PDP-11. Error reproduction: -------------------------- Build 2.11 BSD with ethernet/TCP/IP support over DEUNA/DELUA controller. Configure the network. Boot up 2.11 BSD, switch to multiuser mode. Wait for 15 Minutes, until all ARP caches in the system are aged out. Try to ping the PDP-11 from a network node, which is NOT listed anywhere in the PDP-11's network configuration files. Ping will fail. Important: since arp requests are also arp responses, do not ping the test node from your PDP-11. The test node may not be contacted by the PDP-11! Before testing, verify on the test node that the PDP-11 is unkown. The command "arp -a" must not display the PDP-11 yet. You can clean the test node's arp cache by executing "arp -d *". This can also be reproduced in SimH, for example with the installation downloadable at /www.ak6dn.com/PDP-11/2.11BSD/ Error explanation: -------------------- The DEUNA/DELUA does not answer ARP requests, so other network nodes can not get the PDP-11's ethernet MACID and can not send anything to it. The DEUNA/DELUA does not answer ARP because it does not receive ethernet broadcast packets (those addressed to MACID FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). And it is not receiving broadcasts, because the DELUA driver in /sys/pdpif/if_de.c did not set up the DELUA's packet filter to receive FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Error patch --------------- In /sys/pdpif/if_de.c , the DEUNA/DELUA must be programmed to receive ethernet broadcast pakets. The good way would be to explicitly add MACID FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF to the filter. The fast and dirty way was to program the DELUA to receive ALL multicasts, by setting one more bit in the mode register: In /sys/pdpif/if_de.c, change line ds->ds_pcbb.pcbb2 = MOD_TPAD|MOD_HDX; into ds->ds_pcbb.pcbb2 = MOD_TPAD|MOD_HDX|MOD_ENAL; Status ----------------------------- This is a major bug, as it prevents the PDP-11 under 2.11BSD to run as a server. It's hard to believe that it is still there. In the typical quick "boot up and ping someone" test, it is almost invisible. The bug is not present in the DELQA driver "if_qe.c". I did posted already to alt.sys.pdp11 newsgroup. The error has been acknowledeged by one other user. In the BSD patch archive, this bug seems not to be addressed. regards Joerg Hoppe _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

4.1cBSD Anyone?

by Benjamin Huntsman

Hi all! Just curious, has anyone here managed to get 4.1cBSD (or any 4.1 for that matter) running under SIMH or any other hardware or software? How does one prepare a SIMH-format distribution tape from a collection of files? I haven't found a whole lot of information on the subject, and I imagine it'd be fairly difficult to make a root dump without a pre-existing system... Many thanks to all in advance! _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

Additions to the wiki

by Jason Stevens

I don't know if this would be the 'place' to ask, but would something like this be suitable to the TUHS wiki? http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.2_BSD_on_SIMH http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.3_BSD_Quasijarus_on_SIMH http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.3_BSD_RENO_on_SIMH http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.3_BSD_on_SIMH http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_Ultrix_4.0_on_SIMH I've been slowly putting together some documentation in some wiki like format on how to install various UNIXs into SIMH... Since I wrote them, they could just be wholesale imported... Anyways I don't know if they meet any standards, etc etc... Naturally I'll add 32v, 3BSD, 4BSD & 4.1BSD.... Thoughts? _______________________________________________ TUHS mailing list TUHS(a)minnie.tuhs.org https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs
