System V/68 Release 1 Version 2.7, the first Unix release for VME/10 was created by Motorola Microsystems Engineering as a Beta release. However, due to high demand, it was released as a product. Most of its deficiencies were well known and described in a Customer Letter. Not being able to relink a kernel is common among micro Unix systems; however, 2.7 was missing the kernel libs to do this by oversight rather than intent. Note also that it was released prior to our obtaining 68000 Sys V validation from AT&T in March '84. Subsequently, there have been releases and updates, with support for graphics, kernel reconfiguration, source (need license from AT&T Technologies first), 40Mb disk, improved serial i/o, etc: Version 2.7 update in May '84, Version 2.8 in August '84, and Version 2.8 update in September. Any one who registered their software with Four Phase/Motorola would have received the updates for free and new releases quite cheaply. This could be important to VME/10 customers since Sys V Rel 2 Ver 1 is imminent. -------------------- Fred Christiansen, Motorola Microsystems, 2900 S Diablo Way, Tempe, AZ 85282 {allegra,ihnp4}!sftig!mot!fred {ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!fred {ihnp4,amdahl}!drivax!mot!fred arizona!asuvax!mot!fred
