Three-and-a-half questions regarding 4.3BSD and MicroVAX II: 1) Do I still need access to a "real" VAX running ULTRIX to get going, or can I get a bootable distribution on TK50? 1.5) Will a cheap 1600BPI tape drive be any help? 2) Is there support for RD53 (the 71 MB fixed disk) ? 3) Anyone out there doing kernel development with the 71MB disk? How badly will I wish for an RA81? (can you imagine anyone wishing for an RA81?) I'd appreciate any anecdotes you have to share. E-mail would be nice (even if you post); I don't get to read news very often. Neil Webber {decvax,allegra,ihnp4}!encore!vaxine!nw Disclaimer: I no longer work for Automatix Inc (AI).
