I think you'll need to go 6th Edition : as you have a /23. 7th Edition runs fine on an 11/23 or 11/34, providing you build the 'small machine' version. I've had 7th on my 11/23 with 256K and 2xRL02 for years.

I'd like to inform you that I've found a terrific source in Utah for used DEC hardware including PDP-11 related items. This person has a 2400 sq ft warehouse (about 3 semi truck loads) quite literally brimming with computer hardware which has been collected and stored over the past 10 years. He is currently in the process of liquidating it at very, very low prices. Tons of miscellaneous computer equipment is available, much of which was manufactured by DEC. It would be impossible to list even a fraction of what he has available, but he has told me that his inventory includes approximately 1000 Q-Bus and Unibus boards, plus peripheral devices such as disk and tape drives. I've not been to the warehouse in person yet , but I will be visiting the site in about 2 weeks time from now. If interested, you should be aware that he is in the process of getting rid of EVERYTHING! It sounds like it will all be gone in the next 3 to 4 weeks. Opportunities like this very seldom come along, so please contact me via email if you are interested in finding out more. I'll be happy to forward to you, any needed information that I can. Please feel free to forward this notice to anyone you think might be interested.

I'm still learning MajorDomo, so there might be some teething troubles. The new list is called: pups(a)minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au Can you update any aliases that point to this list. I will keep the original /etc/aliases mailing list oldunix(a)cs.adfa.oz.au around for a while until I'm sure the new one works fine. As with MajorDomo, you can send messages to get off the mailing list. Please let me know of any problems. Updates: SCO Petition, CD-R writers etc. ---------------------------------------- Ok, we're still chatting with SCO. I got a summary of internal mail which shows that there are 2 sides in SCO, those who think it's a good idea (PR-wise at least) and those who can't see the point & who think it's a can of worms. I feel that the people on our side are winning. I've been trying to explain the history of some of the UNIX flavours to their legal eagle, who must know recent history only. I think we can iron things out. Several people from Europe & the US said that they had access to a CD-R writer, & could write CDs, if that became the distribution method for passing on the PUPS archive. I will probably go buy a new X-Gig disk to give the archive a proper FTP home. I've come up with a new archive layout & will pass it on to you all for comments. Anyway, it looks like progress is being made & we should be able to buy personal UNIX licenses soon :-). More updates to the list as things happen. Thanks for your suport!! Warren wkt(a)cs.adfa.oz.au
