[comp.sys.dec] Putting 4.3BSD UNIX on a MicroVAX II

RUBIN@graf.poly.edu (David Rubin) (11/21/89)

We have a Microvax II which is currently running VMS.  The department
would like to convert it to a UNIX machine, and add an Ethernet connection.
The Microvax is equipped with:

 2 RD53  71Meg disk drives
 1 TSV05 Tape drive
 2 RX50  Diskette drives

I am unfamiliar with the MicroVAX and VMS.  I would like to know:

1. Is it possible to put 4.3BSD UNIX on this machine?  How can I go
   about doing this?  (we have a site license for Berkley UNIX)
   We have a VAX 11/780, if this would help in creating a bootable UNIX.

2. What type of Ethernet card will function with 4.3BSD Ethernet drivers?

Any information would be appreciated.  Please respond via E-mail...
