[comp.unix.wizards] VENIX/86, anybody remember?

lawitzke@eecae.UUCP (John Lawitzke) (01/08/88)

A friend of mine recently sold me his copy of Venix/86 which he wasn't
using. It is Venix/86 ver 2.0 . It came out when the XT was only
available with a 10MB hard disk. Unfortunately it thinks my system
only has a 10MB disk. I've been playing with the partition table on 
the hard disk some, but haven't come anything definite. I do know that
my drive has 8 heads and Venix sets up the original partition table
as if it only has 4 heads. I've tried doing things like redoing the 
partition and rebuilding with mkfs, but it won't let have more than
20740 blocks on the disk. 

If anybody has had past experience with Venix, please contact me via 
e-mail. I run Unix machines (VAXen and SUNs) for a living so please
feel free to get esoteric in replies.
