XENIX booting on an F48 (The red freHD for the Big Tandy's)
I managed to make a bootable version of XENIX that runs on an F48.
The hardware and software details are:
Model II type 16; 16b and 6000
68000 sub system with at least 256K RAM
Type 2 hard disk controller
F48 hard disk emulator
XENIX install disks XNX110D1, XNX110D2 and XNX110D3
root password: no password (Enter)
Disk: 306 cylinders, 17 sec/trk, 512 b/sec, 4 heads, format char 00
A bus interface with 5 slots has now been developed for Model 12 users (hans-06B)
with hans-04 as control pcb. The patch TB 12/16B:5 daisy chain' must be executed on this PCB.
This demo version is only made to demonstrate the capabilities of the F48.
To start the demo put hard4-0 on an empty SD card and put it in a working F48 system
A manual for XENIX can be found in the model2archive.
Be careful not to turn off the system until there has been no disk activity for some time.
Otherwise, you can quickly damage the file system.
