SGI IRIS 1400 mkboot and Ideal III tape images

[Forwarded by lawrence at ljw.me.uk with links obfuscated] From: Tothwolf <tothwolf at concentric.net> To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: SGI IRIS 1400 mkboot and Ideal III tape images Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 17:39:24 -0500 (CDT) [2nd attempt to send this to the list.] I just found these tape images again while sorting out files and thought I'd post links here so these can be mirrored. I dumped both tapes about 10 years ago when I got them with the SGI IRIS 1400. These will probably only be of use to someone with one of these machines, but no one else I spoke with back when I got the machine had this software. I'm not sure if the mkboot tape is usable or not but I don't remember having any trouble reading either of the tapes. The tape.0 and tape.2 files both read as valid cpio archives, but tape.1 doesn't. These three tape.x files were separate partitions on the QIC tape. http://strudel (dot) ignorelist (dot) com/~tothwolf/classiccmp/SGI-IRIS-1400/MKBOOT-IRIS-1400.tar.gz MKBOOT TAPE INCLUDING /USR PARTITION FOR THE IRIS 1400 DATE 4/1/88 TAPE NO. 063/SG/005 http://strudel (dot) ignorelist (dot) com/~tothwolf/classiccmp/SGI-IRIS-1400/IDEAL-III.tar.gz IMAGE VISUAL SYSTEM SINGER Link-Miles 27 NOV 1987 IDEAL III CUSTOMER RELEASE TAPE FOR IRIS 1400 64 COLOR INCLUDING:- RUN FILES, MENUS, HELD FILES, KERMIT UTILITY FILES AND COMSEG D/BASES TAPE NO. 063/SG/004
