    The Kim Uno yes ... but it is NOT a KIM-1 ;)

    Re: PDP-11 OS expirience
    By: Andrei Dzedolik to All on Fri Oct 15 2021 10:26 am

    Greetings, travelers.

    I'm building PDP-11 scaled down replica using PiDP-11 kit, which eventually will be
    able to run multiple OS (emulted by simh) back from the days - from RT-11 to Unix v
    to BSD 2.x.
    Does anyone here had real expirience with the PDP-11 machines and can suggest good
    starting OS?
    Any sugggestions are welcome as well as any docs/refrences/etc :)

    Not experience with the real thing, but BSD 2.11 is the most complete Unix experience
    you can get from such deployment in my opinion. It has the tools we all know and love.

    It makes one think thinks through when you realize tools we use on Linux and modern
    BSDs were already in use back then.

    Hello!

    I also built the PiDP11/70 Replica a few weeks ago and it worked great. Starting OS could be RT-11 or 2.11 BSD. Should be the easiest OS to start
    with.

    I also added two real serials to the maschine and connected a VT420 Terminal. So cool.

    Playing Adventure or MTREK on an original Terminal is kind of cool.

    I also built one some time ago, along with the PiDP-8. They are beautiful replicas and a joy to work with.

    The OSes that come with it are pretty interesting, but the DEC and DEC-like ones are quite... unique from a modern perspective. You can see the evolution from OS8 to RT-11 to VMS to CP/M to MS-DOS, with the early ones being
    primitive shades of what we have now.

    Jeff.

    How was the build? I've been tempted to get one of those for my office. One
    of the first "real" computers I worked on in college was an 11/70.


    ... Courage!
