Problem is that I don't have any of the 'Classic' periperals anymore, like TU-10's or RL-02's. (I do have an RL02 emulation which works fine on RT-11 but won't go with BSD or TSX, and no docs on it at all). I have RX-50's, TK-50 and various DU's (RD52,53,54). If this were a perfect world I would have a TK-50 distribution tape to rebuild from. Does anybody know how I might be able to obtain? ************************************************************************* * A Personal Message from * BASILISK * * Danny R.

Support for those came later, the initial 2BSD driver is dated September 1985 and has a comment to the effect it's based on the 4.3BSD UDA driver, so 2.10 was likely the first inclusion of MSCP in a 2BSD kit. By the time of 2.10BSD the MSCP driver was definitely present. TMSCP support didn't make it in until 2.10.1BSD in 1989 - I know that for sure 'cause I did the port. TK-50 support didn't enter the picture until 1989 and it's a real beast of a driver (not to mention the bootblock and standalone driver). Unless you can find some one with a later 2.9BSD system into which the MSCP driver was hacked (doubtful but who knows) I think you're out of luck. I seriously doubt you'll find a TK50 version of 2.9 since that wasn't added until 2.10.1BSD. On a /73 you're probably _much_ better off installing 2.11BSD (currently at rev #277) - it's due to enter the archive in Oz any day now (when Warren gets back from vacation).
