Re: [pups] Looking for binary distribution of v7 - TUHS

17 Nov 2002

Hello Gregg, thanks for your immediate response !
I recently found the article 'Booting 7th Edition UNIX Images' on the
'vmsnet.pdp-11'-Newsgroups:

<--- SNIP --->

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/sim/sources/
ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/PDP-11-sims/Supnik_2.2d/sources/

Once you get it, you have to compile the simulator. You also need to fetch
the 7th Edition UNIX disk images as well; they are available from the above
ftp sites in the software directory (i.e replace sources with software.
Unpack
the 7th Edition tarball in the same directory as the one you built the
simulator. The only file you require is disks/unix_v7_rl.dsk

<--- SNIP --->

What I wanted to say is that the above ftp-links are dead. You are right, I
should
look for the compressed tarball, but I don't know how the tarball is called
and
looking for 'unix_v7_rl.dsk' on google only leads to other dead links ... 
Any hints ?

 Hello from Gregg C Levine
 How do you mean by that? " The links pointing to the 'unix_v7_rl.dsk'
 image I found are dead ... :-(" You said. How so? As I recall, that file
 that's in there, for unix_v7_rl.dsk" is there, it's a totally different
 UNIX_v7 file name, you need to call it that for the E11 product. For
 SIMH, the full name as rendered by the extraction process from the
 compressed file works.

 Subject: [pups] Looking for binary distribution of v7

 Hello,
 I just read the instructions of how to boot a binary version 7 disk  image
  on a ersatz11 pdp11 emulator.
 The links pointing to the 'unix_v7_rl.dsk' image I found are dead ... 
:-(
  Are there any other sites where I can download
this binary  distribution ??

 BTW their are disk dumps of version 7 in the Caldera ancient unix  archive
  .. is it possible to boot
 them on ersatz11 as well ? I tried it a few times without success ...
 I simply tried it with the following e11.ini (from a newsgroup  discussion),
  because I heavily lack
 PDP 11 hardware knowledge. Nevertheless trying this ini-file and many
 variations I made of it all
 end up in a blank emulator screen ...

 Any ideas will be appreciated
