All,
I've completed a new version of my "Installing and Using Research Unix
Version 7 in the SimH PDP-11/45 and 11/70 Emulators" tutorial/document
(wow, that's a mouthful). I'm calling it Version 2.0 - It is a
completely reorganized, updated, and edited version of the document.
The blog post announcement is on the blog:
https://decuser.blogspot.com/
and the pdf is on google drive:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gDBxULlpLwezH-1RO_3ou_W7trElgSgT/view?usp=…
The new doc covers building a working v7 instance from tape files that
will run on the SimH emulator. First, the reader is led through the
restoration of a pristine v7 instance from tape to disk. Next, the
reader is led through adding a regular user, making the system
multi-user. Then, the reader is shown how to make the system
multi-session cable allowing multiple simultaneous sessions. Finally,
the system is put to use with hello world, DMR style, and the learn
system is enabled. It also includes a hyperlinked table of contents.
My hope is that the new version will be more useful than the prior
version, as well as more accurate. I really appreciate the input and
feedback y'all have given me over the intervening years.
Regards,
Will
