how to get the images back out to media?
I have some pretty rare token ring / 3290 microcode disks that probably
should be archived somewhere. I tried to prepare to get a 3174-91R to talk
to Hercules, and along the way, got IBM to send 3290 microcode for the unit.
I have an image of the 3290 disk, in particular. I also have the physical
floppy, that I obtained separately. (just letting you know that that disk in
particular has been archived...let me know if you want a copy of the image)
Another fellow on the Hercules list is working on
bringing up a 3290, and I'd
certainly like to help, but am not particularly anxious to send him my
media. Obviously if I get images, he will have to obtain media from
somewhere, maybe buy some of the scrap ones off ebay and overwrite them, but
maybe someone has some stashed.
I'm not on the Hercules list, but I've made a great deal of progress with
my 3174 (not quite there yet)...maybe I can help this guy out. Can you put
him in touch with me?
