I tinker with
old laboratory equipment and got a Bio-Rad 3200 computer the
other day that runs a spectrometer.
It is a 68030 based system that runs a version of Whitesmiths unix. _It came
with a bunch of floppys dated 1992.
It runs just fine and I would like to get advice on how to preserve the
contents of the small SCSI disk inside the computer and the floppys.
As an aside, I didn't know any passwords to get me into the system. _My
first try to log on as root using the password 'password' worked, I had to
laugh.
That's awesome! I have always wanted to play with Idris but it's
almost impossible (as far as I know) to find systems that have it.
