Re: Ultrix-11

I just installed Ultrix-11 3.1 using the ultrix31.tap file from https://pdp-11.org.ru/files.pl?lang=en which is the location from the comments in Stephen's Machine Room video on YouTube that I think started this thread. It installed just fine, but just like the video, I ran out of space on /usr.

Re: Remote job submission from PDP-11

Thanks to everyone who has sent suggestions about remote job submission from a simulated PDP-11 to a simulated IBM/370. Although I do want to get this working on a simulated PDP-11 running RSX-11M, the mention of the Unix 'send' command grabbed my attention, since that rings a vague bell in my

Remote job submission from PDP-11

Hi folks, I am looking for the following software products for a PDP-11, ideally to be run on RSX-11M. RJE/HASP 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator My aim is to be able to submit a remote job from a simulated PDP-11 on simh to a simulated IBM/370 on Hercules. The products that I mentioned seem the

Manchester University Joint System in the 1970s

I was a student at Manchester University from 1974 to 1980. During that time I used the University of Manchester Regional Computer Centre (UMRCC) computer system. The so-called Joint System consisted of a CDC 7600 with an ICL 1906A front end. We used to submit card decks via a Systime (a PDP-11

RE: Convex C220 lives

Hi Camiel, Nice to hear that you have the Convex C220 up and running. Regarding things to run on it, starting with LINPACK is probably a good idea. However, in term of what they were actually used for back in the 1980's, I know that they were popular with the radio astronomy community, starting
