So it’d been a while since I’ve booted it up, and I just went with the 3.8-2 rc2 release (I forget did that version ever get released..?) Anyways since I wanted to run my SIMH instance under a Linux VM..
Soooo I went through some fun to recompile it as a 32bit binary, as the slirp doesn’t work on 64bit machines..
I just built the 11/780 emulator as I wanted to run 4.3 UWisc on my VM (in a VM)..
You can download the build here.
As a reminder the installation instructions for 4.3 BSD Uwisc can be found on gunkies, and all the files needed are on sourceforge. Â Also the 4.x BSD if_de.c driver errors out on receiving packets, and I’ve found it easier to just remove the error checking from the driver, and recompile the kernel and just boot that up.
I’m thinking of rebuilding the login process on 4.3 BSD to bring back AberMud, and self service user creation. Â Years ago I used to host all kinds of ancient UNIX, and I’d like to bring back at least one..
