I enjoyed playing a game of Chess on the 'MissPiggy' PDP-11/70 running UNIX v7.

Ok, but I'll need to visit https://punchcardreader.com first! 😅

Card Reader Service for 80-column IBM Punch Cards

@teledyn
Good find, but don't you already have a unified puncher / reader / sorter + collater lying around ready for use?
@dougmerritt sadly no, and my eBay watch hasn't turned up a practical deal, but I do have boxes already sorted!

@faraiwe
I don't still remember things like boot sequences, but I do remember the assembly language -- which was very consistent and logical.

@dougmerritt I dabble at Unix, at best... kept BSD boxes and network running, as jr sysadmin, for about a decade-plus or so.

Running Unix 4.x on a PDP-11/70 would be akin to having a chance at spooling the first jet fighter, after getting your brevet.

@faraiwe @dougmerritt
The 11/70 runs Unix v7. “4.x” sounds like a BSD 32 bit (i.e. VAX) version; the 16 bit versions are 2.x, but I think they expect a Qbus PDP-11 rather than Unibus like the 11/70 and earlier.
@dougmerritt @lisamelton #VAX11780 YES!! I programmed on that in college! Gonna check if they have it.
