And at 5:18 he says he had a vax lab with three
vaxen and the Lab's vax
port didn't have virtual memory. Bill Joy with 3BSD which had virtual
memory. They installed it on the vaxen because they were hitting physical
memory limits for some of their programs....
This suggests that the 32V in the TUHS archive is a later one than this
early port. 3BSD is listed as being released end of 1979...
It was 4BSD and 1980 according to QCU:
"In 1980 it was Bill Joy who flew to New Jersey and, together with Steve
Bourne, put 4BSD up in Bell Labs. "We did it overnight," Joy told me.
"We decided to do it about 9 p.m.; people showed up in the morning and a
new os was running. It was pretty amazing."
