Updated and new VM's and disk images with COHERENT systems are available at:

https://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/coherent/ftp/vms/

The new 4.2.14 system has DDK installed as well as kernel source kit in /usr/src/sys.
The IDE disk driver already is bug fixed in both.
It also has an improved X11R5 already installed, with all fonts and more window managers.
VGA console graphics already is installed, example programs are in /home/udo/screen.
Then the whole /u1/gnu is installed, in case you wish to use GNU software. With the
shell functions MWC and GNU you can switch between the environments, see /etc/profile.

The systems have the acc/unproto version 1.7 installed, that I prepared together with Nils,
so that you can build any C89 software on the systems by using acc instead of cc. I have
build various X11 application with that, which required GNU C before, but that is tricky
to use, because GNU C only supports hardware floating point.

Enjoy,
Udo

Thanks for putting out this, really appreciate it. I'm trying to download, but I get a 403 for all of the 4.2.14 files in this directory.

Thanks,

I have tried to rename the files, but no matter what name, it's not working.
No idea right now, guess try again later in a few days maybe.

Seems to be a misfunction caused by file size, it affects the largest 4 files.

I have put the 4.2 VM's and disk images on Google drive:

Could you confirm please that downloads from this works, thanks.

Welcome and thanks for feedback. I wasn't sure if I configured the sharing options
in the Google drive correct, so that you can access it.

The problem on the web site was fixed, download of the file from there
works again. Thanks for the hands up.
