Obviously I meant Sys III.  Sorry.  I have a hardcopy listing of
Sys III Level 6, from 1976 that was distributed free of charge
for educational purposes.  It runs on an 11/40 w/ 2 RK05s, an
LP11 printer, PC11 paper tape reader/punch, and a KL11 terminal
interface.

To further clarify my request, is there a PUBLIC DOMAIN version of
Unix or a Unix look-alike (similar to MINIX (not free, but only what,
$75?) for the PC) for 11s that is available through DECUS or other
LEGAL means?  I have NO INTENTION of pirating software, thank you
very much.

Also, I got my 11/34 for $100 (US).  Not bad, eh?  Of COURSE I
WANTED a newer/bigger system, but the price was right!

Geez, I didn't think I'd get flamed in here!
