Thank you for the valuable information. It seems like v7 unix will be the way to go. Perhaps i can get some uucp connection going over a serial line out of the machine, that could be interesting.
I found this page, and it confirms what you said about 2.11 bsd, not compatible with the 11/34 cpu. https://minnie.tuhs.org/PUPS/node6.html On the same page, there is mention of 2.9 bsd, and the 11/34 is listed as compatible. Is tcpip availible in this version? Thank you again for the helpful info. --Devin D.
