Well v7 binary runs seemingly well on my 11/73 with the kitchen sink (the extra and unusable accouterments). It doesn't use much though! The Rl02 disk does have about 5mb space. One thing I'd like to do is have some additional storage other than the one RL02 drive I have. I figure that could easily be a RX02 but it's not obvious how to add that (to V7unix that is). The RQDX3/RD52 would be nice but I'll settle for a RX01/2. The other is the date is 1988... month and day are setable but year? Is there any way to get it to stay in 8/n/1 (my system(s) default) rather than 7/e/1. The last one bugged me some... there is no shutdown! To kill the system all I could do was make sure there weren't any excess processes running do a sync and hit restart. I assume this is ok as I use the same method for venix on the pro350, so far I haven't mashed that system.

I could build another kernel for you. Once you get the source license, you'll be able to do it youself! # man date DATE(1) DATE(1) NAME date - print and set the date SYNOPSIS date [ yymmddhhmm [ .ss ] ] DESCRIPTION If no argument is given, the current date and time are printed. If an argument is given, the current date is set. yy is the last two digits of the year; the first mm is the month number; dd is the day number in the month; hh is the hour number (24 hour system); the second mm is the minute number; .ss is optional and is the seconds. What serial devices do you have? I think V7 expected hardwired things like KL-11s. Anyway, here's some of the stty(1) manual. SYNOPSIS stty [ option ... ] DESCRIPTION Stty sets certain I/O options on the current output termi- nal. With no argument, it reports the current settings of the options. The option strings are selected from the following set: even allow even parity -even disallow even parity odd allow odd parity -odd disallow odd parity 50 75 110 134 150 200 300 600 1200 1800 2400 4800 9600 exta extb Set terminal baud rate to the number given, if possible. (These are the speeds supported by the DH-11 interface). I think that's all you could do.
