[HECnet] 2.11BSD

I've seen the "RetroBSD" guys running this on MIPS PIC32 stuff, but I suspect from my readings thus far they don't much care about the 11 tree. Eh. The obvious canonical source would be sms. Steve M. Schultz, who is the official maintainer. I don't remember where he keeps stuff, but that should be easy to locate. Nobody cares about 2BSD except for the PDP-11 people, since 2BSD by now are rather distant in relation to all the "modern" BSD. 2) Was 2.11BSD ever ported to other platforms? Given the age/era, I'm curious about 8088/8086/NECv20/80286 given the banked memory models used and looking at the 8088/8086 XENIX disassembly. Nope. That would not have been 2BSD then. And since the PDP-11 don't even have banked memory, it would probably cause some headaches to port 2BSD to something like 80286 or other similar machines. To make it clear - the PDP-11 have a very normal MMU with pages.
