There is a possibility that I will be able to get my grubby little mits on a
DEC PDP-11/73 with memory, disc drives, etc. in the near future.
This machine is currently running RT-11, which I'll avoid commenting on :-)
My question is... is it possible that I could pick up UN*X for this machine?
From where? How much? Do they have student rates? :-)
Also, just what kind of performance should the 11/73 give me? Would I be
better off going and getting a PC/AT with XENIX??
Mail me, post me, make me write hot checks,
Jon

How much? Do they have student rates? :-) You can get 2.10BSD from Usenix for $200. The catch is that you'll need an AT&T Unix source license to get it. I think there is also a version of Venix that runs on the 11/73. --Pat.
