8086 lacks the required protected mode. don't remember how xenix over
came this problem when it was first released. no one even has to think
about this problem today
I've placed two sets of 800bpi 780 System III tape images
temporarily under http://bitsavers.org/sysIII
Curiously, they don't match. There were no dates on the tapes
which are originals.

Why do I get read errors on the second file on the first tapes of both
sets under SIMH? I didn't think it was even possible for tape I/O errors
to occur under SIMH unless the image is corrupted.

Old versions of SunOS from 2.0 to 4.1.1for Sun 2, 3, and 3x can be found
at http://www.sun3arc.org and http://www.soupwizard.com/sun2/

As the guy who started this thread, I'm very grateful for the help.
All I wanted was the lint libraries I wrote, those were like include files
and it is hard to imagine Sun cares about those (I had to threaten to
quit to get them included in the release, back in the day of 200MB disks).
And while I really appreciate all the offers for the source of SunOS
4.x, I'm a CEO of a software company and it would be way over the line
if I accepted any of those offers. So thanks, I appeciate it, but I
hope you'll understand that I have to color inside the lines.

Hi,
Does anyone of You know of any public mainframe/as400 offering public
service with 3270 interface, I mean which can be contacted via x3270
running in Unix X.
locis.loc.gov, serving in Library of Congress for 2 or 3 decades, seems
to be gone, but perhaps there are still some survived in USA .

I beleive I have sucessfully read a Dec, 1979 mini-unix
distribution tape yesterday evening. I've placed it for
the next week or so under http://bitsavers.org/miniunix
It is in .tap format, which should work with SIMH.
It is a single large file blocked 512 bytes/record
Does anyone out there have a machine or a tape? I'm looking for the
lint libraries I wrote, there were posix, psd, xpg*, etc. I was pretty
focussed, back in the day, on making it easy for people to write code
that could port easily. These days nobody cares about that stuff but
I'd like a copy of those lint libs. If you don't get why think about
how hard it is to care if it is a char* or a void* or an int or a long.
Thanks,
--lm
