Installing and Using Research Unix Version 7 in the SIMH PDP-11/45 and 11/70 Emulators 2.0
This is a completely reorganized, updated, and edited version of the document. It includes the following sections:
- Installation
- Create a user and set sane TTY options
- Set up multi-session support
- Miscellaneous
It covers building a working v7 instance from tape files that will run on the SimH emulator. First, the reader will be led through the restoration of a pristine v7 instance from tape to disk. Next, the reader will be led through adding a regular user, making the system multi-user capable. Then, the reader will be shown how to make the system multi-session cable allowing multiple simultaneous sessions. Finally, the system will be put to use with hello world, DMR style, and the learn system will be enabled.

Mounting tar files in v7
How to mount a tar file in v7 running in SimH This was difficult to figure out, but perseverance, tuhs, and simh mailing lists helped.
Modern tar files are easy to mount as tapes in SimH (at least theoretically). This note shows the way.

v6 Bootable Tape
A note describing how to boot from Dennis Rithchie's v6 disk-set. It shows two methods, one that builds a bootable tape from scratch, and another that extracts the bootblock of a running v6 system.

Hello, World! in Assembly on Research Unix Version 6
A note demonstrating the process of assembling and running a simple hello, world Unix assembly language application on Research Unix Sixth Edition. It's short and sweet, but gets the job done!

Adding tar to Research Unix Version 6 Running on a PDP 11/40 in SimH
This note explains an approach to getting a working version of tar running on Research Unix Version 6 (v6) running in a SimH PDP-11/40 Simulator.
NOTE: After working at this for a bit, it is clear to me that while this is workable as a solution to move files from v6 to v7, it is not workable as a true tar for v6. The program has difficulty with directories, timestamps and such when working natively on v6. The issues are not with the instructions outlined below, but rather with limitations of the original program as delivered with v7. More investigation is required to understand its limitations.
