That's my plan, once I get back from my travels next week! My VAX 6000

instead install VAX 7000 because it supports more memory'
*rubs hands in glee*
I'm SO glad we weren't the company that specced this installation in the
first place :D
Get the machine back online and BOTH disks have
died on me. Backup drive
won't power up and the Amiga drive no longer responds to the gentle 'power
up please' tap I've been giving it.
Hmm. You could pull the lid on the Amiga drive and coax it into life by poking
at the spindle; I've done that before with good results. Just obviously be in
a position to start copying data immediately. Strange that the backup drive died though. There might
be a surface mount fuse
on the drive that's gone, but it's an unusual failure.
I'll check.....
