Hilariously, I actually do have an enable-34 board in my stash.. Just saw it in the last week or so & will dig it out in next few days. So does that single board contain the memory and everything, or is this a backplane mod/special memory kind of setup?
I'd be eager to run Ultrix jut for the extra flavor (I've only done the bsds on my pdp11s thus far), but one of my real desires here is to have the machine behave itself as a pretty normal net citizen, connecting through some sort of ethernet and running legit telnetd and ftpd. That said, I won't be too sad if that's impossible and kludges are required, but it is my initial hope. I guess I need to first ascertain exactly which 11/34 I have, how much ram I can scrounge up, which addressing scheme, etc. then move on to what I can actually do, software-wise, with the kit.
With the enable34 board, do I have some hope of getting 2.11bsd on this one? Sounds like that'd avoid a lot of the more sporty software modifications and let me have something that works like a "normal" modern-ish system. But then, I do have an 11/73 I'm working on that could run that build much more easily and appropriately.. I guess I'm up for whatever is most historically appropriate, a good match for the hardware and at least able to be present on a contemporary network without intermediary kludge hardware.
thx
