I ran 1.1A on my Microvax II with success for a long time, but it got
screwed up when I tried to update some of the tools so that I could compile
a kernel. I now have 1.2 installed but it's quite unstable. Can't compile a
kernel, no way, no how. Or it compiles but won't run. And the binaries for
1.1A are nowhere to be found so there's no way to go back. This all started
because I wanted to work on the ts11 driver for the project. Screwed up the
machine big time, now I'm outta here waiting for another stable release to
come along...
