Hey Paul...
This is really helpful. I've had to deal with those archives for the Rainbow stuff I
do and have some additional caveats below I thought I'd share...
Thanks for that information.
Part of my motivation is that I mostly run Mac OS, and after that Linux -- not DOS let
alone Windows. So I was hoping to find a Unix solution which is what I documented.
Now I have two additional questions.
1. In the PRO177 collection (P/OS 3.2 base system) the image 177-20 which is the
ProSetupV32 disk seems to be bad. It converts fine, but the converted file is 160k, not
400k as it should be. If I pad it out with zeroes it still doesn't work, even though
the data at the start looks plausible. Any advice? Is there a good one somewhere? Tim
Shoppa's copy has the same issue.
2. The Xhomer P/OS image has Pro/DECnet installed, it seems, but it doesn't work. I
see the floppies (5 of them) but no information on how to use them. Any information on
Pro/DECnet install and setup anywhere?
