[net.unix] 4.2 for Microvax

tucker@ccvaxa.UUCP (07/19/85)

    Anyone know of an alternate place to get 4.2 BSD for a microvax besides
DEC and their ULTRIX?  Has anyone put together or have any idea of the
changes required to get the standard 4.2 BSD source to work on the
microvax?

I have ported a version of 4.2 to the MicroVAX I & II.  Unfortunately, I had
to use some code from Ultrix 1.1, so you'd still need to have Ultrix.

It would be nice if Berkeley would support MicroVAX in future releases... the
machines are really quite similar to "older" Vaxen from the kernel's point
of view (OK, so the I is braindamaged).

Sorry to port this, but I couldn't seem to get mail through. 

Avie,
    Would you be willing to share the non-DEC parts of your port?  Please
let me know by mail.
