If anyone bought any of those rl02 or other dec or classic disk packs
and media from ebay, please PLEASE read the contents out before
overwriting them!
I recently found a bunch of lost unix v5-era source code on erased space
on an image of a disk pack image from dennis ritchie, archived
unknowingly at tuhs, so who knows what other gems may be on those disks
in erased space?
dump them with dd, not with dump, since dump ignores or zeroes out blank
space. Tar obviously ignores blank space as well.
