- DEC ULTRX-11 V3.1 Master Distribution Kit
-
-
- This directory contains the files needed to build a complete
- installation kit of version 3.1 of the ULTRIX-11 Unix system
- for the DEC PDP-11. Version 3.1 was also the final release;
- no more development was done after, as UEG shifted its focus
- to the new VAX systems. Ultrix effectively was ported to the
- VAX. and called Ultrix-32. Later releases were called either
- Ultrix/VAX or Ultrix/RISC, depending on which DEC platform it
- was for.
-
- This distribution contains files from both the V3.1 binary
- kit (dug up by Wilko Bulte), the V3.1 source kit from Steven
- Schultz, and some other tools and files grabbed from anywhere.
-
- The kit is basically a regeneratable V3.1 binary boot kit,
- with the official SRCKIT added to it (as tape file 35). The
- top-level "build" script does what it says.. it builds the
- tape so you can start it up and go to get some sleep :)
-
- To get the ball rolling, check the value of the TAPE variable
- at the top of the "build" script. It is set to what MY tape
- device (TK50 on TQK50 controller) under Ultrix-11 V3.1 is,
- so you may have to change it.
-
- Then, type
-
- ./build
-
- and watch things go. After about two hours of tape activity,
- you should be woken up by two BEEPs telling you that it is all
- done. Unload the tape and you're all set.
-
- Extreme thanks go to Wilko and Steven for digging up this stuff;
- to Bill Gunshannon, Ed "The Wanderer", Kees Stravers and Warren
- Toomey for their support while I was fighting hardware problems
- and debug weird software issues. Thanks guys!!
-
- If you run into problems, drop me a note!
-
- Have fun !
