Hi all.
Last week I grabbed a what seems to be "pristine" DEC Pro350
which was in use as a VAX console.. the VAX interconnect cable
is still attached to it.
Now, before I strip it to become a regular Pro.. would it be
useful to save the disk's current content? I seem to remember
a discussion on that stuff being hard to find...
Thanks,
Fred

I'm guessing that it is something that really should be done. I know
I haven't bothered (not even totally sure where my Pro380 ex-VAX
Console is).

What drive does it have, if it's not too big I would like a disk image.

AFAIK, DEC used RD32 (ST-251s) for console boxes - that'd be about 40MB
uncompressed, not accounting for empty sectors.
