2.11BSD recebendo correções até hoje. - Retrópolis

Nem toda a comunidade BSD se resume a FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD e outros (Darwin, DragonflyBSD, etc). Também tem o povo que ama um BSD retro, um BSD raiz, de várzea... Nem que seja para jogar Zork. Então, no perfil RetroBSD do Github, temos o código fonte de alguns sistemas BSD, e entre eles, o 2.11BSD.

2.11BSD, released 35 years ago, gets the biggest patch ever!

Apparently, the patch file is so big that vi on the PDP-11 cannot deal with it 🤣

#211bsd

Spent some time this monday preparing the machine including installing 2.11BSD to the M2322 hard drive, as my DIY disk emulator showed some reliability issues at #why2025 . I'm still in the process of applying the latest updates to the system, as rebuilding kernels and part of the userland on a 1MB RAM, less than 1 MIPS system takes a fair bit of time.

Once I'm done updating the system, it will be at patch level 499 - the latest available for #211bsd , released on January 14th 2026!

If you want to play around with this system, visit the open day at RevSpace The Hague next saturday:

I will be attaching a few physical terminals to it (including a VT55 and VT100!) as well as allowing telnet from the local network.

Besides this, if you do visit and want to trade PDP-11 parts, I have a large collection of mostly QBUS cards that I want to part with, and am looking for PDP-11/84 (PMI) and PDP-11/44 (EUB) memory boards as well as spare CPU cards for the /44.

@gmc @freedosproject @FritzAdalis @jmcunx and I just finally got #211bsd running on my #pdp11 (well, pidp11) again. Maybe I can host some of my web site on it...
Another item on my todo list is to get Minix running on one of my #i8088 #pc boxen again, preferably with IP network.
