Not extremely detailed, but you're more knowledgable about PDP-11 OSes than I am ;). It at least mentioned where to grab the files.

Getting the files to real disks shouldn't be that tough.

Is this a node on HECnet BTW?
Because if so, it really should be on the front page of the website...

Not exactly quality portraits, but you get the idea. ;) I can take
some better ones if you guys are interested in some quality DECporn. ;)

Yes. This, run just now, is running on an Alpha running VMS v8.3, the

I could part with some form of Qbus PDP-11, possibly, but it won't be
cheap. (I'm in acquisition mode, and this stuff is drying up fast)

That one is running on real hardware, so it's a bit more difficult to
