[] Many thanks to all the folks who responded to my query about UN*X on q-bus type systems. The information which received was very helpful as my principal concern was the availability of device drivers for peripherals on the q-bus. The following sources for UN*X with q-bus support accompanied several offers of assistance: VENDOR SYSTEM DERIVATION VENTURCOM on pdp-11/73 version 7 with (address unknown) version 6 file system Integrated Solutions MC68000 q-bus or VME bus 2240 Lundy Ave 4.2BSD or UNIPLUS + (SYSTEM III based) San Jose, Ca 95131 (408)943-1902 Uniq Corp. on pdp-11/23 version 7 (?) Batavia, Ill University of Toronto on pdp-11/23 version 7 In addition to these, several people suggested DEC's new ULTRIX-11 or ULTRIX-32 (for the q-bus MicroVAX), and the Berkeley 2.xBSD. Thanks again, Bill D'Camp bill@logicon.arpa
