[net.unix-wizards] Does 4.1bsd, 4.2bsd, or System V get this hardware going fastest?

ado@elsie.UUCP (Arthur David Olson) (07/10/85)

Colleagues at the Michigan Cancer Institute recently acquired a VAX 11/750 with:

*	a TU81 tape drive
*	an RA60 disk drive
*	an Eikonix optical scanner (only known driver is a 4.1bsd driver)
*	a Comtal Vision One/20 display (4.1bsd and 4.2bsd drivers available)

They're interested in getting things running as soon as possible.

If you have:

*	information on the availability of 4.1bsd, 4.2bsd, and System V drivers
	for the above hardware;
*	information on the availability of magnetic tapes that can be used to
	bring up 4.1bsd, 4.2bsd, and System V on the above hardware;
*	or opinions on whether its best to go with 4.1bsd, 4.2bsd, or System V

I'd appreciate hearing from you.
