Hi there Curt
My name is Michael from Melbourne Australia, a Musician
that has always loved ataris for Midi work and still using mine
today.
I am not sure if I have the right person or Not, I am chasing a Curt that posted
a Message on one of the Developer sites with regards to Atari UNIX Disk images
" For those who own Atari TT030 workstations, I have finally gotten a
hard disk with Atari's version of Unix System V on it running along with a
diskette with setboot.prg utility that sets the nvram in the TT030's to
recognize and boot from the Unix Hard Disk.
If anyone is interested, I can make ghost images of the 300MB SCSI
hard disk
If you want a copy, I need a 300mb SCSI HD to Ghost the image to and
you pay shipping to and from me.
Curt
If you are the person that did submit this back late last year? does your offer
of the disk images still stand.
Kind regards

Out of curiousity, what does running Atari's version of Unix on the TT030
get you? How is it better than running say NetBSD. Not that I really care
to run Unix in 4MB again (at least I think that's what my TT030 has).

Pretty sure ours has too - I think that was the standard amount.
To Curt if he happens to read this: do you do raw hard disk images on
CD? Shipping a hard disk around the place seems a bit of an expensive
way of doing things (and more prone to damage)

Hi Jules,
I have several HD's with it, I've been rather tied up, so if someone
would be willing to make some images for me and is local here in the US
(I'd hate to have to ship a HD out to UK/Europe, I will bubblewrap it up
nice and safe and send it over to you. Contact me off-list.
I have the full developers manual for Atari Unix System V, I also
have the Tos/Unix boot select diskettes as well (needed on the TT030 to
tell the BIOS how to boot a foreign HD format that does not have AHDI on it.
I will start to put sections of the dev manuals (about 400-500pp) and
make them into sectional PDF's
