[comp.unix.wizards] looking for a 4.[23] RL-02 driver

smb@mimsy.umd.EDU (Steve M. Burinsky) (05/22/87)

I know, why would I want one?  I have a antiquated Vax 730 that I need to
put in service for a short period of time, and need the removable media.
I already own the drive...
Does anyone have one for 4.2 or 4.3?  The last distributed one I remember
was under 4.1.

Thanks,
Steve Burinsky

There was an RL02 driver in the 4.2bsd distribution. I used it to run
4.2 on a (only) dual RL02 VAX730 without any troubles other than
squeezing a useful set of files and the swap space etc on the (count
em) 20MB total disk space. Can't say it was a particularly useful
system, but it used what it had (the main trick was getting the system
onto an RL02, fortunately we still had an 11/60 running V7M and a 'dd'
to/from tape did the trick.)
