There's a small intersection between Lasseter and NYIT where I currently
work. A friend worked there during the CGL/NYIT days, and when they
closed up, I dumpster dived a lot of stuff.
Including the NFS 2.0 sources that Warren currently has in the TUHS
archives ;)
Towards the end, they were using BSD 4.3 on Vaxen - I even got my hands
on a couple of 750's, which have been ruined over the years because of
environmental problems with the storage location. I do still have a
complete set of boards.
I still have an RM05 pack, labeled /pix ... probably way past the
ability to be read, I'm afraid, unless someone wants to sacrifice an
RM05 drive to try.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that my first
exposure to Unix was
on our school's VAX many years ago. Today someone from school gifted
me an original copy of the VAX 4.2BSD Unix User's Manual, complete
with a B&W drawing of the daemon on the cover.
I didn't know that John Lasseter of Pixar fame was responsible for
that logo.
