I recently acquired a DECstation 5000/200 and I'm looking to install
Ultrix on it. Does anyone have a copy of it on hand? How much does it go
for?

AFAIK digital (and now dec/compaq) has been very picky about
people giving away licenses and media packs (tk 50 tapes or
cds) with ultrix.
Fame has it that ultrix cdroms will only boot from a scsi cdrom
device that says rz something (real dec) on bootup ......
The official license for ultrix 4.5a ( the last version for
dec5k/200sys) retails for about 300 USD and the media ( it comes
separate from the license !) another 250 USD or so .........
Anything which you get for less is a good buy, you might be lucky
to get original tk 50 ulrtix boot tapes - rarely used nowadays -
for less, but you would of course need the tk50 scsi tape recorder
also.
Happy hacking
