RE: [pups] Unix on a PDP-11/24

You could also run Unix v6, if you're of a historical bent; 2.9BSD should run with no problems; and possibly v7, if you have the 22-bit address bus and enough RAM. Keep in mind that if there isn't a distribution for your machine, you can build one on an emulator, then create a disk image. However, with v6 I ran the 11/40 image on an 11/34 and was able to rebuild for my hardware. Warren wrote a neat tool to get bits onto a machine over a serial line; it takes a while (at 9600 baud!), but it works. Look on the PUPS site under VTserver; don't worry that there probably isn't an installation package for a given version or machine, there's a way to run a small client on a PC that can talk to a bootstrap on the target machine. -- Ian DISCLAIMER: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain - or to my email address.
