This was for older PDP's like the 11, wasn't it? I have a Vaxstation 
3100. I do have the SIMH PHP simulator running which can simulate an 11, 
but I haven't done anything with it.

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how to build a full distribution tape in Simh format? Or am I over looking something simple? I can boot and run the root RL02 image but would like install the full system. Would like to do the same for the 4.3 and the VAX Simh. 


Thanks, Mitch

My guess is that this was Heinz Lycklama's unreleasable LSI-Unix (LSX),
and I've written him to enquire, but haven't heard back yet.

Hello,

No, TYNIX was not Heinz Lycklama's product... it was not related in any way,
except that both happened to run on the same platform.

In the time period in question, I was Director of the Center for Advanced
Public Computing at the Children's Museum, and TYNIX was my creation.  It
was written to work on LSI-11 (aka PDP-11/03) systems (i.e. without memory
management) to bring a few of the simplest components of the technology that
distinguished UNIX from competitors like RSTS/E and RSX-11, to low-end (VERY
low-end, by today's standards!) machines... specifically to handle some
"real-time" (e.g., building security and HVAC control) and transactional
applications, with a VT100 character-cell/"graphics" UI (hey, drawing a box
on the screen was "graphics" in those days!), using a couple of "real"
PDP-11s as... well... today they'd be called storage servers ;-)

TYNIX contained no UNIX code; it ran in a disk-free environment, as a client
in a serial (RS232, 9600bps) network, and was capable of running
applications that were written in C, built, compiled, and tested on a UNIX
system... as long as said applications were small enough ;-)  It had drivers
for the industrial/commercial analog and digital I/O components that were,
at the time, typically sold as part of Digital's PDP-14 family... connected
to the LSI-11 via the DRV-11 parallel interface card for the digital
devices, and via another card, whose model number escapes me at the moment
(AXV-11?), which handled analog I/O.  Actually, I believe, at that time, the
host system was  running an enhanced (by me) version of Whitesmiths, Ltd.'s
Idris operating system, not official  UNIX, although it had run true UNIX in
earlier years.

I don't recall that TYNIX was ever circulated widely... there was no such
thing as "marketing" it, and no demand emerged either.  In 1981, I left the
Museum, forming my own company, which ultimately did some work to port Idris
to the VAX and the PDP-11 based Professional 3xx machines from Digital
Equipment, along with adding some substantial (again, viewed in the context
of the era) enhancements for performance and user-friendliness to the PDP-11
Idris product... which we re-sold as Idris-Plus, to nonprofit organizations
running our applications software.  TYNIX officially belonged to the Museum,
and I doubt that it was circulated after my departure.

TYNIX had potential... but then, so did Digital ;-) ... of course, TYNIX was
developed as a non-profit activity, so it wasn't expected to make money...
and didn't!

I remember reading that article at the time, and being stunned to see my
work mentioned in BYTE.  (Then I learned that I was referenced in an edition
of the Whole Earth Catalog, as well!)

(The Children's Museum was the first licensee of UNIX outside the AT&T
umbrella, in 1973.  That was  right around the cusp of the introduction of C
... in fact the first installation I did was UNIX with no C compiler
available... followed within a matter of months by the first release of C.
I had the pleasure of heavy involvement with USENIX and its predecessors in
that era, and may or may not have submitted TYNIX code to them... along with
some of my other work, such as a simple relational DBMS and some
severely-improved disk and tty drivers).  I also had the opportunity to
spend time with Ken and Dennis... we went to Maynard together to test UNIX
on a PDP-11/70, and watched it compile and build itself completely in memory
(no on-disk temporary files), on that awesome 16-bit machine with 22-bit
address space ;-) ... in something like 15 minutes.  Today, I use an iPAQ
which also runs completely in memory... but a lot more of it ;-) )

Tomorrow, after being away from Boston for 8 years, I'm flying back there,
from Virginia, to pick up my new car... and, time permitting, plan to visit
the Museum to see if any of my stuff is still running there :-)

        -Bill

I'm almost certain it was MS who did the first x86 version of XENIX.

HCR did do some work with PDP-11 XENIX - notably Mike Tilson's RT-11
emulator, and I know there was some tie-in with Microsoft in the early
days but I'm not sure exactly what it was.

If HCR had been involved in the early XENIX x86 work I find it
incredible that nobody (including Tilson) ever mentioned it to
me when we (I was with SCO at the time) bought HCR back in the
early 90's.

If I can find Tilson I'll ask him if he remembers any of this.

Bill, is there any chance that the Museum might have anything (anything?!)
from before 6th Edition UNIX?

Hi Mitch,

you'll find the program enblock.c at
	http://www.ba-stuttgart.de/~helbig/os/v6/
that I wrote to prepare the v6 distribution tape for SIMH.

With v7, you need to apply different block sizes like (f0, f1, ... f6 from Keith Bostic):
	enblock <f0 >dist.tap
	enblock <f1 >>dist.tap
	...
	enblock <f4 >>dist.tap
	enblock 10240 <f5 >>dist.tap
	enblock 10240 <f6 >>dist.tap
	enblock </dev/null >>dist.tap

Enblock puts an EOF tapemark at the end. The last invocation puts an EOT mark.

Have fun,

Wolfgang

Hello Gregg, thanks for your immediate response !
I recently found the article 'Booting 7th Edition UNIX Images' on the
'vmsnet.pdp-11'-Newsgroups:

<--- SNIP --->

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/sim/sources/
ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/pub/PDP-11-sims/Supnik_2.2d/sources/

Once you get it, you have to compile the simulator. You also need to fetch
the 7th Edition UNIX disk images as well; they are available from the above
ftp sites in the software directory (i.e replace sources with software.
Unpack
the 7th Edition tarball in the same directory as the one you built the
simulator. The only file you require is disks/unix_v7_rl.dsk

<--- SNIP --->

What I wanted to say is that the above ftp-links are dead. You are right, I
should
look for the compressed tarball, but I don't know how the tarball is called
and
looking for 'unix_v7_rl.dsk' on google only leads to other dead links ... 
Any hints ?

Hello from Gregg C Levine
No need to copy me on the address list, Bill. I caught Mario's message
the first go round, and decided to ask what methods he used to follow
this line of reasoning. It happens I sort of figured that he would have
used google to find things. Google is famous for outdated links.

Thanks a lot !!!
That was what I was looking for ...
Nevertheless, mounting the file and boot dl0: leads to the boot-prompt @ 
After typing unix the boot-prompt appears again - does the kernel have a

It should look something like this (from my 7th Editon on a real PDP-11):

@boot
boot
: rl(0,0)unix

The "@" is the bootstrap prompt, and the first "boot" is what you type.
 The second "boot" is from the boot program itself; the colon ":" is boot's
prompt.  "rl(0,0)" is what you type to name the device, unit, and
partition, and "unix" is the kernel name.  YMMV if you have a different
kernel.  BTW, to shut down an old system like this, you should (as root)
type

# kill -1 1

to stop user processes and return to single-user mode; then type "sync" a
couple of times, to make sure any disk buffers are written out, and then
stop the processor.

boot dl0
@boot       <- you type "boot" and press "enter" or "return" in reply
New Boot, known device are hp ht rk rl rp tm vt
: rl(0,0)rl2unix    <- you type "rl(0,0)rl2unix" and press return
mem = 177856
#           <- you are now in "single user" mode

login: root     <- login as "root"
#           <- Have fun ...
            <- You did make a backup of the disk image before you started,
            <-  right?  ;-)

If you want to make things easier,  your first command should be:

# cp /rl2unix /unix

Now you will be able to type "rl(0,0)unix" instead of "rl(0,0)rl2unix".  Ps
and other commands that need to read the system namelist also expect the
kernel image to be named /unix.

Enjoy!

Subject: [pups] 2.11BSD networking on simh
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0211271707560.643-100000@gladen>

I have gotten 2.11 installed on simh, I have it recognizing the simulated
ethernet card, and everything appears correct except the packets just
aren't getting in and out.  The simh documentation says that the DELQA
card is better than the DEQNA, but I was unable to get the DELQA (qt)
driver to recognize the card.  When I compiled the kernel to use the DEQNA
(qe) driver and set the card up in DEQNA mode, the emulated card and its
ethernet address were correctly detected.

I have configured 2.11BSD with:
  A valid IP address on the network the host is on.
  The same netmask, broadcast, and gateway as the host.

I am running the emulator as root.

I have attached the DEQNA to the appropriate ethernet card.  I can see the
ethernet card go into promiscuous mode when I start the emulator.

I have tested it with SANITY=ON and SANITY=OFF.

The docs say you won't be able to talk between the host and the emulated
machine, so my test for each configuration has been pinging the gateway,
which I know responds to pings since I can ping it from the host.

I have been over both the 2.11BSD docs and the simh docs several times and
as far as I can tell I am doing everything correctly.  I would appreciate
any hints that any of you can offer.

Thanks,
Andru

Hello from Gregg C Levine
I've been trying to get that notion to work, since it was announced.
Can you post an explanation, regarding how you constructed your 2.11
setup? Was it built from disk dumps, or from one of the previously
built, and stored collections, on the Minnie, file server? Also, a
posting of the startup script would be nice, along with what you are
running this on. That way, we can possibly reproduce your problems for
ourselves. Especially since this is one of my personal projects. And
most importantly of all, what was the date on your simh download?

I used the files from PDP-11/Distributions/ucb/2.11BSD/ in the collection
and built a tape image using a short perl script which I attached as
"mktap.pl".  I got the file format from the comments in the "mtdump"
program from the "simtools.zip" archive (on simh.trailing-edge.com), and
how to put the files onto the tape from the HOWTO file in the 2.11BSD
directory.  From there I pretty much just followed the HOWTO.

The system is mostly functional.  fsck still complains about a file that
it creates.  I stuck it all in one 128 meg file system, so I'm thinking of
making another disk and file system just to stick the fsck temporary file
on during boot.

I'm running it on a Linux 2.2 box.  My ethernet card is a 3c905B in case
it matters.  I have attached my startup file as "simh".

I am using simhv210-1.zip, which as I write this is still the latest one
on the site.

Any ideas to try?  Hve you had any luck?

	Hmmm, that seems strange.   Using P11 I talk between the host (the
	machine running the emulator program) and the "PDP11" all the time.

	Ah, it has to do with ARP handling I suspect.  I know that with P11

	doesn't work thru the emulated ethernet) at all.

	Ah, but on the host did you publish an ARP entry so that the host
	will arp for the PDP11?   I think that is required.    

	I would tinker around with installing published/proxy arp entries and
	seeing what happens.

The qe driver does appear to recognize the DELQA.  Same results as with
the DEQNA.  It sees it, recognizes the ethernet address I configured it
with, and the network configuration all seems to work, but once it's all
up I can't get anywhere.

I couldn't say.  I just tried setting the arp information for the gateway
in 2.11BSD, but to no avail.

I just tried it, also to no avail.

tcpdump isn't showing me any packets coming from or to the IP or ethernet
address of the emulated PDP-11.

I would be happy to share mine, but it doesn't work.  ;-)

The thing that strikes me as really weird is that I know a guy who is
running VMS with networking on the simh VAX emulator.  As I understand it,
the the VAX and PDP-11 emulators use the same code for the ethernet
controller.

People,

DO note that the Ethernet operations of SimH heavily depend on the proper
workings AND configuration of a Packet Filter driver for your platform,
so, something like BPF, EFILT, NetFLT or WinPCAP (for Win32).  Try running
a test app for that stuff BEFORE trying to run SimH/ENET stuff.. if the
test app works OK, you can start figuring out why SimH/ENET doesn't work
on your system.

I have *three* network cards the drivers of which DO NOT support promisc
mode.  Which obviously results in WinPCAP (they're PCI cards under Win2K)
not functioning properly, and, thus, same for SimH/ENET.

A cursory glance at sim_ether.c makes it look like it uses libpcap, as
does tcpdump.  Does having tcpdump work count as a valid test?  If not,
can you suggest another program to try?

I'll leave it to others to describe the early days.  The Berkeley
Software License Agreement, generally called the BSD license, is
pretty straightforward, though.  Take a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/license.html for the original
copyright, under which 4.4BSD was released, and at
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html for the current
BSD license.

I have the paper license for System V issued by AT&T to Case Western Reserve
University, the famous UNIX source license. I have it buried somewhere in my
papers. If you want it, I can dig it up and fax or snail-mail you a copy.
(Sorry, no scanning. I use the computing technology from the days in question

Yep, same for 4BSD.

Wrong. The Berkeley Software License Agreement and what is known today as the
"BSD license" are two different things. The latter is the liberal header
Berkeley started prepending around 1988 to files that were totally theirs
without any Bell Labs code. The former was the paper license that went with the
4.3BSD and earlier tapes where Bell, Bell/Berkeley, and pure Berkeley parts
were not distinguished and the entire system could be used only by holders of
UNIX source licenses from AT&T. Although I've never seen it myself, the
Berkeley Software License Agreement could not have been like the liberal
header, it surely had stuff in it telling you that if you share it with anyone,
you must first verify that the recipient has a UNIX source license from AT&T,
etc.

Hi there.

I am a linux-user and I came across TUHS for the first time today
actually when I was searching google for old unices. I love linux and
am very interested in the history of unix. For some time I have wanted
to try out some early versions of unix as I am in my early 20's and was
born too late to have been around those days :( I havn't found any
people to ask about this till today :) Anyway, I browsed the
filearchive and I guess the distributions there surely won't work on my
computer. Is there a way to get them work on a i386 computer? Have
someone made any ports of an early unix system to i386 out of
nostalgia? If not, could someone take it on as a hobbyproject so that
new generations of unix-like-OS-users can explore it? It would be both
fun and also very educational to play around with I am sure.

Yeah. Get a PDP-11 emulator. Multiple ones exist, some freely available and

Well, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "early UNIX".  FreeBSD,
NetBSD and OpenBSD are all ports of BSD UNIX to at least the i386
architecture.

Well, I suppose you could start with an early version of NetBSD or
FreeBSD and use the machine-dependent parts to port older versions of
UNIX.  But it's a non-trivial task.

Hi,

I did a port of  V6 to the 286. See:
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Other/V6on286/

BTW, has anyone ran any Unix on the DEC Professional? (the desktop PDP11,
and Vax-console)?

Yes.  I ported Idris (the independently-written system from Whitesmiths,
Ltd.) to the Pro 350, in an earlier life, in the early-to-mid-1980s.
