With a lot of help from the author of #Amiberry, I was able to boot Amiga UNIX v2.1 patch 2a!
Describe the bug The configuration described in the Amiga Unix install page works with FS-UAE 3.1.66, crashes with Amiberry, either version 5.7.3 or git master. To Reproduce Configure Amiberry as d...
Did you know that you could install #Commodore's official #UNIX #SVR4 on your real or emulated #Amiga?
I'd like to give it a shot. The main obstacle will be obtaining the boot floppies and the installation tape. Yes, Amix was distributed on a QIC-150 tape 😎
This is where I'd turn to one of several Amiga pirate boards in the '90s, but even those are long gone 😢

#unixporn #retrocomputing
Before moving to greener (and higher-paying 🤑) pastures, one of my two big "technical assistant" projects for #Comcast #Cellular was upgrading the engineers' Sun #Unix workstations from the #BSD-based #SunOS 4 to #SVR4-based SunOS 5 (#Solaris 2), and from #NIS / #YellowPages to NIS+.
In hindsight, it was a bad idea to make both changes at once, but I was a kid entranced by novelty and not yet very considerate of my users during the inevitable downtimes. (3/6)
Писать под потомков SVR4 это:
-Подажжи, сколько у нас вариантов fork()?!
-Да
*Три дня поиска мануала по настройке компонента из поставки оси, про который даже в интернетах в душе не чают, но на форуме тебе встречается "тот самый труЪ юниксоид" у которого эта штука была сорок лет назад в проде и только он знает что половина того что написано в мануале протухло и неактуально*
—Ура, вендор прислал обновление!
—Да, теперь у нас вместо ANSI C будет C98, ура!
—Твой код либо весь покрыт тестами либо не познал заботливых лап тестировщика вообще, иногда оба случая в пределах одного проекта
Happy day! I've found and scored an old #VT220 (compatible) serial terminal for my #SVR4 #retrocomputing project.
We're about to move offices and a bunch of cool stuff just appeared in a "dispose of this" pile. There's an old Sun machine in there too that I might have to save from the crusher. 
New toy day! My little SBC is here that I plan to turn into a classic 90s Unix system running System V.
Don't go hitting refresh for updates on that project, it's something I imagine I'll be stabbing at opportunistically for quite some time to come. There's a LOT missing from what I have to work with.
I might blog soon about why SVR4 is so interesting to me though.
