Hi, all,
I have a Tektronix 4132 (National 32016-based) Unix workstation that the
hard disk died in (A Maxtor XT3280), and I've managed to find a
replacement drive that works, but don't have any of the tapes (1/4"
DC300-style QIC 24) with the standalone utilities or UTek installation
on them. Stupidly, I never imaged the drive when the system was running,
so I have no way to bring the machine back up again.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has imaged the UTek installation
tapes. I think that the version of Utek is 3.2, but not positive. I
have an old Sun Sparc 1+ with a good QIC 24 drive in it that I could use
to recreate the tapes, and I have a good supply of known good tapes.
Just need the bits. I'd love to bring this old machine back to life,
but without an OS, it's pretty useless. Failing there being images of
the standalone utilities tape (bootable, serves as base for formatting
and partitioning drive, and installing UTek) and the UTek installation
tapes (I think it took two tapes if I remember correctly), maybe someone
out there has some tapes that I could try copying or imaging?
I know it's a shot in the dark, as these machines weren't very common in
their day, and are probably as rare as hens teeth today. But, I figured
if there was any place to post a plea for help, this is the best.
