After more than half a century, UNIX v4 tape has been found in the University of Utah, and is now live in the Internet Archive!

This is a UNIX textbook, I know this!

huuuuh. with a few minor code changes you can make SCO Breaker generate SNAKs for SCO OSE/ODT 3. #retrocomputing #oldunix #scounix
Someone dropped a massive (500GB) blob of 1990s IBM warez on Archive.org. It included some #InteractiveUnix releases I hadn't previously seen. Also versions of dBase, Lotus 123, Wordperfect ... and Microsoft Word 5 for UNIX!
Plus #FPGA and #PLD development software for AT&T's ORCA - and Neocad's FPGA Foundry, which is the base Xilinx ISE was built on.

Does anyone have Sun patches 107235-01 (at Y2K fix) and 107436-01 (fsck fix for large FSes) for Interactive Unix 4.1.1?
They're from around April 1999 and may be on a Sun Patches CD from around that time.
Sadly they're not on Archive.org, or the ZX[1] and ICM[2] mirrors of Sun's ~2006 FTP.

Boosts and shares appreciated!
Interesting progress on that #Plexus P/20 machine in Adrian's latest video. The first ten minutes are just about the reset circuit and pretty mundane, but then it picks up.
Does anyone know of an archive of old Sun patchdisks, or the access1.sun.com website/FTP?
I need Patch ID# 104688-01, a TCP/IP fix for Interactive Unix 4.1.
and Patch ID# 107232-01, a IUS 4.1.1 NFS fix.

Any #oldunix gurus around?
ISC Interactive Unix 4.1. Installer (from http://tenox.pdp-11.ru/os/interactiveunix/ ) runs but locks up after partitioning the HDD.
This is on a 430HX, motherboard IDE and a 2GB CompactFlash card, with K6-2 400 CPU and 96MB RAM.
Tried limiting the cylinder count in the BIOS and installer, no change.
Also looking for 3Com 3C509B drivers for the same OS, if anyone has them.
Does anyone know anything about ACCELL UNIFY, ideally the Unix version? Installed version, install media, documentation, anything really.
I'm dealing with an app written with it and the only way to make it work is turn the clock back..... I'd like to fix that!
I could also do with scanned documentation or idiot's guides for #Sybase circa 1992?

bhe, #dwarffortress è contemporaneamente sia cosi #oldunix che cosi moderno e profondo ... che una volta nella vita (forse) vale la pena di provarlo, specie se hai famigliarita con #angband.
Solo i miei due centesimi, il tuo kilometraggio effettivo può variare. 😎

Kudos, Eidon
è così #oldunix che mi commuove. 😜
