Jim Griffioen's recent posting suggests a forthcoming solution to the problem of more efficiently using Suns as backend machines. Like some other folks, we are presently replacing our DEC time-sharing equipment with Suns, in this case a Sun 4. Not being blessed with enough Sun workstations to be able to devote any to "backend" machines but still having several LSI-11s, I would like to continue to use Xinu in the "old fashioned way" by just connecting LSIs to the serial ports on the Sun. I wonder if anyone has successfully ported the Xinu development environment to SunOS. If so, I would appreciate hearing from you and, perhaps, obtaining the diffs.
