I tinker with old laboratory equipment and got a Bio-Rad 3200
computer the other day that runs a spectrometer.
It is a 68030 based system that runs a version of Whitesmiths
unix. It came with a bunch of floppys dated 1992.
It runs just fine and I would like to get advice on how to preserve
the contents of the small SCSI disk inside the computer and the floppys.
As an aside, I didn't know any passwords to get me into the
system. My first try to log on as root using the password 'password'
worked, I had to laugh.
