For those, you'd want to do a selective load of the desired files from the tape image. If you're using the 2000F kit from the trailing-edge site, you can use the "tsb-man" startup file to begin a manual system startup. You'd answer the startup questions as follows: CONFIGURATION OPTIONS? YES NUMBER OF PORTS? <just press ENTER> LOAD OR DUMP COMMANDS? LOAD ENTER NAME LIST, ONE PER LINE; TERMINATE WITH 'END' At this point, mount the CSL tape on the tape drive and then enter the account and file names of the files you wish to restore. When you enter the END command, the system will load the named accounts or files from the tape. The process is described on pages 4-19 through 4-22 in the "HP 20854A Timeshared BASIC/2000, Level F System Operator's Manual" (HP part number 02000-90074, Nov-1974) that is available from Bitsavers. One caveat: I don't know, but I suspect that the selective dump tapes are version-specific, i.e., one for 2000 Access won't work on 2000F. I don't know with which systems the Bitsavers tapes are compatible. You're welcome. Feel free to contact me directly I can clarify anything. -- Dave
