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.
Tossing the drive into a modern machine with some unix on it would let
you do a image with dd. For the floppies it might be easiest to do
images on the drive in the IDRIS system, dd should be present in most
unices.
