Sorry for the OT posting, but I figure I'd find
some qualified Unix techs
here. I have a client in the Springfield, Missouri area that needs to get
some data off of a very old SCO unix box. The box is not interconnected
with anything else, and the only means to get data off--an old Irwin 60MB
tape drive, went bad. I figure there would be a simple way to get the
data off the hard disk, by either mounting it into a Linux box or adding
an external drive to the SCO box via SCSI (though I'm not sure if it has a
SCSI interface...in fact I know next to nothing about the box currently).
If anyone is interested in this project, please e-mail me directly (I
won't see any responses to the list). Time is of the essence, so please
reply soon.
Not in the area.
You could always try 'kermit' through a serial line.
Slow, but it should work. Might be faster and safer than mucking
about with assorted hardware.
Another serial option might be 'uucp', or related programs.
P.S. VCF 9.0 is November 4-5. Web page going up
today.
