I would say go Ultrix 2.0, and see if the update to date.c can be compiled
on it for basic Y2K use.

Someone on ebay had 5 sets of mv2 Ultrix 1.2, but I dunno if that
early a version supports the MV2000.

It will be hard to fit much of anything in 70mb.  One of the RD54's
would do, though.  I had Ultrix 4.2 up on one of those drives on an
MVII.  It was too tight, so I opted back for Ultrix 2.0.  That was
more comfy.

Can anyone refresh my ram as to which version of NetBSD is the earliest
to support the MV2000?
