- Here are a bunch of tapes that I rescued from the School of Computer Science
- at ADFA, which is an outpost of UNSW. The most interesting tapes here
- contain the AUSAM modifications to 6th Edition.
-
- UNSW 01
- -------
- Tape label: System Source Disk
- DD format URK? BS=24B count=203 800bpi 9track
- UNIX System Source 1 of 1
- 25/1/78
-
- A distribution of UNIX source from UNSW, with several changes. record0.gz is
- an RK05 image laid out according to the `Boston Children's Museum' format
- (i-nodes in the middle). Latest file timestamp is Jan 24 1978. There is only
- kernel source, plus a `unswbatch' directory. The latter seems to hold the
- source to a UNIX batch system developed by Ian Johnstone and other at the
- School of Electrical Engineering at UNSW.
-
- record0.tar.gz is a tar archive of the RK05 image.
-
- UNSW 02
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Fun & Games & Pics
- 800 bpi 9 track itp Format Reel 1 of 1
- 25/1/78
-
-
- Lots of BASIC programs and Ascii lineprinter pictures. record0.gz is an
- itp archive. There is no UNIX-related stuff. Everything is dated Jan 22 1978.
-
- UNSW 03
- -------
- Tape label: System Disk
- DD format URK? 800bpi 9track UNIX System Disk
- 1 of 1
- 25/1/78
-
- Binaries to a UNIX system, no source code. Latest date is Jan 24th 1978.
-
- UNSW 04
- -------
- Tape label: UNSW 4th Distrib (2 files)
- PWB-UNIX (Part 1) (1 file) TP format 800bpi
- Sizes: 4303 5101 7326 records
- NO RING EVER
-
- Record0.gz is a tp format archive of the AUSAM modifications done at UNSW of
- 6th Edition UNIX, dated November 1979. Documentation and kernel sources exist,
- but there is no source for libraries or ordinary commands. Most recent file
- date is November 1st, 1979. The kernel diffs against UNSW 106 are small, so
- UNSW 04 evolved from UNSW 106.
-
- Record1.gz is a tp format archive of AUSAM programs and library source. This
- is an assumption, as again the most recent file date is November 1st, 1979.
-
- Record2.gz is a tp format archive of binaries and man pages for PWB-UNIX.
- Latest date is September 8th 1978. There is no source code on the tape.
-
-
- UNSW 05
- -------
- Tape label: PWB UNIX (Part 2) 1 file 205
- Level 7 UNIX 1 file 640
- Berkeley Pascal \
- Vrije Pascal / 1 file 319 blocks
- No Ring Ever
-
-
- Record0.gz is a dtp archive of PWB-UNIX. Unfortunately there is a hard error
- in record 0, and I was unsuccessful in recovering the rest of record 0, nor
- record 1 and 2. The dirlist file shows what is in record 0. Latest date is
- September 8th 1978.
-
- UNSW 06
- -------
- Tape label: Hebrew Distribution
- Toronto Graphics Distribution DTP No Ring Ever
-
-
- Yet another tp format, dtp. This one puts the offset of data in the first 8
- bytes, starts the dir at offset 128, with 114-byte names. Progs/dtp can
- extract it. The tape has no UNIX src. There are top-level directories gpac,
- huji and tor. Latest date is December 20th 1979.
-
- UNSW 07
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Source & Documentation
- 800 bpi 9 track itp Format Reel 1 of 1
- 25/1/78
-
- Record0.gz is an itp archive of UNIX source code and documentation. I have no
- clear idea as to the version archived. File dates range from August 21th 1976
- to January 24th 1978. It has some UNSW modifications, with the highest
- labelled `fix016' in param.h, and that's 16 decimal.
-
-
- UNSW 81
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 7 Source
- from tape #5 part 2 13/4/81
-
- Just as it says. dtp format, also includes binaries. No WECo boot
- records though (as described in `Setting up UNIX' in the V7 manuals).
- The most recent timestamp on any file is August 22nd 1979.
-
- UNSW 81 and UNSW 83 are identical. They contain Seventh Edition UNIX.
- Looks like a complete distribution as well. There are hptmunix,
- rphtunix and rptmunix kernels. No rk or rl ones, though.
-
- [Compare these to Henry's tape]
-
-
- UNSW 82
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX L6
- VRIJE and Berkeley Pascal from tape #5 part 3
- 14/4/81
-
- Record0.gz is a dtp archive of at least Berkeley Pascal, in the pascal
- directory. Actually there's a csh, and install.ms indicates that this is in
- fact 2BSD. The READ_ME file in the pascal directory has a timestamp inside of
- April 19th 1979.
-
- The pc directory contains Pascal-VU (dated May 29th 1979) from Vrije
- University, the Netherlands. Latest file date in the pascal directory is
- August 1st 1979, and for the pc directory is October 30th 1979.
-
- UNSW 83
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 7 Sources
- from tapes 92 & 93
- reel 1 of 1
- 5/1/83
-
- dtp format. As the label says. Looks very much like tape 81. In
- fact a comparison of the contents show it to be exactly the same.
-
- UNSW 85
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source (tp)
- from tape #4, part of file 2
- 13/2/81
-
- tp format, no man pages. The file seems to be truncated, I got
- block errors with my tp program.
-
- UNSW 86
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source (tp)
- from tape #4, file 3
- 28/7/81
-
- tp format. /bin, /usr, /etc, man pages, i.e all but src.
-
- UNSW 87
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 6 Source
- PWB Part 2 from tape #5, part 1
- dtp
- 10/12/81
-
- This looks like it contains the source code to PWB 1.0. There are
- no manuals and no binaries (well, a few scattered in source dirs).
-
- UNSW 88
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 6 Source
- Languages etc,
- dtp
- 16/3/81
-
- dtp format. Source for lots of languages. No system source.
-
- UNSW 89
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 6 Source
- Nroff Tables
- dtp
- 16/3/81
-
- dtp format. Yep, nroff tables, not very exciting.
-
- UNSW 90
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 6
- Source Archive
- dtp
- 7/5/81
-
- dtp format. Applications source, no system source.
-
-
- UNSW 92
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 7 Source
- UNSW (dtp)
- 25/3/81
-
- The kernel on this tape has lots of diffs compared to unsw 81. I
- cannot tell which is older, but from the dates (1979 vs 1981), I
- assmume that this tape is older than unsw 81. It would be good to
- compare unsw 81, unsw 92, Henry Spencer's V7 and the tape from Torsten
- Hippe. There is only source on the tape, no binaries.
-
-
- UNSW 93
- -------
- Tape label: UNIX Level 7 Source
- UNSW (dtp)
- 30/9/81
-
- I got hard read errors on this tape, so it's probably incomplete.
-
- UNSW 106
- --------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source 1
- (tp)
- 29/1/81
-
- This seems to be a 6th Edition patched with AUSAM, and something
- else: the code has `fix025' style comments scattered around. This
- needs investigation. The tape only has kernel source.
-
-
- UNSW 107
- --------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source 2
- (RK05 #24) (tp)
- 5/2/81
-
- UNSW 108
- --------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source 3
- (tp)
- 12/2/81
-
- UNSW 110
- --------
- Tape label: UNIX L6 Source
- macro-linker, make, dostp, yacc, libS.old
- 7/5/81
