I searched everywhere for an IRC client that would actually compile on a PDP-11, but kept running into issues with the 64K Program/Data limitation of the architecture. The solution to the issue, of course, was to write my own client.

I wrote a VERY minimal IRC client that runs on 2.11 BSD, based on SIC. I just got around to putting it onto Github.

I have not yet implemented a command line argument parser, so the nick and server are hard-coded into the source at this time, and must be changed. Building it is as simple as running “cc irc.c -o irc”.

About Mr. S. Schultz. Do you maybe know of somewhere he might hang out, next to ClassicCmp?

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere… after the end of the CSRG vs ATT lawsuit 32v wasn't encumbered anymore so all of that stuff is 'free'.

i don't know if this is piracy ot not (personally, i like to think of everything older than 10 years as abandonware), so feel free to yell at me if you think i should shut up, but..

do you know where to get the 386BSD 1.0 CD-ROM? i'd prefer not having to pay for it (it was free back then, IIRC), but hey, it's worth a few dollars/euros if i can try it out. :)

Well the 2.11 BSD stuff is really 4.3 backported… so really what you want is 4.3 BSD for the i386, which basically is 386 BSD….

If you have lots of patience, and a billion floppies you can do it…..
