Howdy,

Not sure if anyone has heard about this, but SCO is giving out licenses for
older versions of encumbered BSD.  This may be an easier approach for
figuring out some of the hardware for hp700s using the Utah code then
cleanrooming it for NetBSD.

Good luck,

Well, for different definitions of free:-) You can get a click through 32V
license (that\'s the old Bell Labs VAX version which you need for the BSD
versions) from:
http://www.sco.com/offers/ancient.html
There\'s also a web request form the apply for access to PUPS. PUPS
unfortunately doesn\'t have 4.4Encumbered so you have to get the
CSRG cdroms from K. McKusick. But everything before 4.4 is there( 1BSD,2.xBSD,
4BSD,Net/2 and 4.3-Tahoe and 4.3-Reno). I\'m not sure if Mike Hibler would
like to contribute to the PUPS archive...

As you can guess I\'ve been busy downloading since I have a VAX 8350,Pro380 and
a PDP-11/44 in need of an OS. V7 will do nicely for the pdp:)
