I am trying to find out how to put Unix on a PDP 11/73. It is my understanding that 2.9BSD is essentially equivalent to 4.2BSD except that 4.2BSD runs on 32bit machines and 2.9 runs on 16 bit machines. Is this correct ? Is this the best Unix to get for an 11/73 ? Is there a SV port for this machine ? I would also like to find out what kind of costs and problems will be involved in bringing up UNIX (whatever flavor) on this monster. Who can I contact for information about 2.9BSD and how much would a licsense be for an 11/73 ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
