I had an 11/750 that ran BSD 4.2 for years with no problems. When I

machine - so none of them were going to be upgraded until this got
fixed, deadline or no.

Heh. We had a PDP-11/40 running Edition 6, and it was unable to use the
"overlapped seeks" feature of the RK-11 controller, so of course Unix got
blamed by DEC. Turned out that DEC OSs (RSX, RSTS etc) never used that
feature, and an FCO was necessary to fix it.
