@dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz 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@mstdn.social @dougmerritt@mathstodon.xyz 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.
