I am presently scouting for a 68000-based system to run CAI for law students under UN*X. We presently have an educational source license for System III, and are running v7 on an 11/23. The system I'm looking for will support 16 ports, possibly more, though the requirements aren't cpu-intensive. Is source code available (at deep discount rates, of course) for any of the 68000 systems on the market, as long as you have the AT&T license? I have found, both over the years at U of Toronto, and presently at the Law Society, that having the source is tremendously handy for various things: - finding out what a utility REALLY does - hacking the utility to do what I want - hacking the kernel to do what I want (somewhat rarer) - hacking C library routines - borrowing algorithms from system source I'd love to keep this capability on the new system. Of course I can always keep the Bell v7 source on line, but it won't quite be the same as what's running. Anybody know of a source to source?!
