Hello,
I'm helping out our local college who has been given a VAX 5350. It
has VMS on it now and they would like to run unix being a unix shop. Tektronix
may donate a license so there is no problem there (or so we think).
Here are my questions:
The VMS os uses a special boot floppy. Do you need another for BSD?
How about a floppy for ULTRIX?
Where can I get one?
Who is using BSD on an 8350 and what do you think we should do?
Who is using ULTRIX on an 8350 and what do you think.
Any and all advise is welcome...
Thanks, Ethan
