| ULTRIX | |
 Logging into an Ultrix 4.0 system | |
| Type: | Multi-tasking, multi-user Unix |
|---|---|
| Creator: | Digital Equipment Corporation |
| Architecture: | PDP-11, VAX, DECStation/DECsystem (RISC) |
| This Version: | 4.5 for VAX and DECStation (1995) |
| Date Released: | ULTRIX-11: 1982, ULTRIX-32: 1984 |
ULTRIX was DEC's official UNIX for VAX, PDP-11 and DECStation/DECsystem (RISC) equipment.
PDP-11
ULTRIX-11 was available for the PDP-11 and can be obtained up to version 3.1 from the TUHS archive (below). It will run under SIMH (and other PDP-11 emulators).
VAX
ULTRIX-32 (later: ULTRIX/VAX) for the VAX was derived from 4.2 BSD with some influences from SYSV and included support for specific DEC technologies. The latest version is 4.5 from 1995. Earlier versions of ULTRIX-32 are available from TUHS. It will run under the VAX simulator in SIMH.
ULTRIX/RISC
ULTRIX/RISC for DECstation and DECsystem computers is not available from TUHS. The latest version is 4.5 from 1995. This version will also run, (Including CDE + X11!) under GXemul.
Y2K compatability
It's been confirmed that 4.0 is NOT y2k compatable... Not many UNIX from the 1990's or prior are so it's really no surprise...
Running ULTRIX
SIMH will run Ultrix. Many simulators -if not all- of supported VAX computers are known to work.
Installation instructions for SIMH can be found at:
- Installing Ultrix V1.1 on SIMH
- Advanced Installation of Ultrix V2.0 on SIMH
- Setting Up RIS on ULTRIX V2.0
- Installing and Configuring an ULTRIX V3.0 DMS Server on a SIMH MicroVAX 3900
- Installing Ultrix 4.0 on SIMH
- Installing Ultrix 4.5 on SIMH
External links
- DEC - various ULTRIX distros
- Ultrix-3.1 - PDP-11 version
- Ultrix-32 - Sourcecode for Ultrix-32
