Greetings By glad chance, I will soon have the opportunity to acquire a PDP1170 with a tape drive, 2 diskpack drives, console, and several terminals. The machine comes with its native operating system, a BASIC compiler, and diagnostics. Everything else's on me. I've some experience with unix, but this opportunity will allow for more systems administration experience. However, I know that site licences (sp?) for unix are expensive. Until I can get to that point, does anyone know of a public domain/inexpensive unix OS for that machine? I'd be willing to hack my way theough whatever i could get my hands on. since I'm aware that the price is right (as it were). Having such a system would greatly increase the availability and usefulness of the machine. As an EE/CS student, this would make a big difference. D. K. Addison
