I am putting together an alpha release tape that I will be happy to send to those who are willing to help out with the porting process. If you are interested, send me a message and I will contact you about the details. Note that the native development environment has not been ported yet so you will need to use a VAX running 4.2/3BSD for compilation. At the moment only a driver for the Ungermann Bass ethernet card is written though it would be straight forward to write drivers for other ethernet boards. AT&T licensing restrictions require that your institution be licensed for System V release 3. Only drivers for the hard disk, and an async. port (used as a console) have been written. Also the swapped-based memory management code has not been debugged. The current plan is not to put any effort into debugging swapping since a virtual segmentation System V kernel will soon be available from AT&T/Intel and it seems more reasonble to spend the time integrating and debugging that code instead.
