- This directory contains a full copy of Unix V7M Release 2.1, as donated by
- Jean Huens. His description of the tape follows:
-
- UnixV7m was distributed by Digital Equipment on a 9 track 800 bpi
- magnetic tape (at least that's what we got.)
-
- The label on the tape read :
-
- "UNIX/V7M RELEASE 2.1
- 800 BPI 10/1/81"
- and
- "The contents of this tape
- are distributed to UNIX
- licensees only, subject to
- your software agrements with
- Western Electric Co., Inc."
-
-
- The tape consists of 8 files described on file 3 :
-
- idefix$ cat tapefile3
-
- File 1:
- 2 copies of magtape bootstrap (2 blocks total)
- The standalone bootstrap
- File 2:
- A file to console copy program
- File 3:
- This file
- File 4:
- The program mkfs
- File 5:
- The program restor
- File 6:
- A dump of rp0 (root file system)
- File 7:
- Tar format dump of rp2 (/sys - system sources)
- File 8:
- Tar format dump of rp3 (/usr - all other sources)
-
-
- The tape was accompagned by a document on paper describing how to boot
- the system. I do not have a copy of that document and cannot find it on
- tape, so the rest is from my memory...
-
- With the initial bootstrap the boot program was read from tape file 1.
-
- Then you could start copy (I do not remember what copy was used for.),
- mkfs, restor and with restor you could
- restore the dump on tape file6 to disk.
-
- On that root filesystem were a lot of unix systems :
- hptmunix
- hptsunix
- hmhtunix
- hmtmunix
- hmtsunix
- rphtunix
- rptmunix
- rptsunix
- hkhtunix
- hktmunix
- hktsunix
- rl01htunix
- rl01tmunix
- rl01tsunix
- rl02htunix
- rl02tmunix
- rl02tsunix
- u45z_id
- unixold
- rl02tsunix_i
- hkhtunix_id
- hktmunix_id
- hptsunix_id
- rphtunix_id
- u45z_ov
- unix.obg
- rptmunix_id
- rl02htunix_id
- rl02tmunix_id
- rl02tsunix_id
- rptsunix_id
- hktsunix_id
- hmhtunix_id
- hmhtunix_i
-
- (these names are extracted from the inode table on the dump in tape file 6.)
-
- You had to select the correct system depending on your disk,
- tape and processor (separate I & D or not).
