Hi guys,
Wanting to run the older Unices, I hunted around for a working 286.
I sort of succeeded, except for the part that the sealant from the
original Connor harddisk probably didn't get enough air where the
laptop was situated for the past ten years and had gone fluid.
Messy.
Got me another harddisk, also an old Connor, not sure if it works
but can't seem to find anything like a working DOS floppy with a
FDISK.EXE which allows the removal of non-DOS partitions. A guy
at work had a working copy of Partition Magic on floppy, but it
seems to have a heavy case of floppy rot so it won't boot.
So I was wondering, anyone have a floppy .img which I can rawrite
or dd to a floppy to see if I can partition the old Conner or another
2,5" disk proper, so I can at least install MS-DOS onto it and maybe
some old Unices later on?
DR-DOS?
