<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>As part of ongoing
efforts with a different project I set up a 4.2BSD install on a vax780 sim with
networking support. After I did it I realized that I wasn't sure it had
ever been done on SIMH before, so I wanted to let folks know that it's
possible. All I've tested so far is the ftp client, but I was able to
download files from a machine on the local subnet as well as a machine on the
larger internet.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3

out, <a href="http://occs.cs.oberlin.edu/~hbent/vaxultrix/42bsd-net.tar.bz2">http://occs.cs.oberlin.edu/~hbent/vaxultrix/42bsd-net.tar.bz2</a>
is a virgin install of 4.2BSD on an RA81 complete with an ini and bootloader
file, ready to go. I just added the DEUNA driver and recompiled the
kernel based on my local setup. It was tested with the most recent
version of the vax780 simulator from git, I have no idea if it will work on any
other version.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Adding the driver was
actually fairly easy. I found the original 4.2BSD driver on google
groups: <a
href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/net.unix/qqCxhYWQPtI/c7Ptc1mjQ9sJ">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/net.unix/qqCxhYWQPtI/c7Ptc1mjQ9sJ</a>
. This is the direct ancestor of the driver from 4.3BSD as well as
Ultrix. It did not need any changes to compile, just an update to
/usr/sys/conf/files.vax and an addition to the kernel config file.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
