How about dd'ing it to a file, transferring it to another computer and
pressing a CD?

"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
for you. One word of caution, according the Atari engineer who wrote
Atari
Unix, it does not work on all TT030's. Some of the units had bugs and
issues, most came back into Atari's service center where the -33 68030's
were replaced with slower 16mhz CPU's, so while I will guarantee that the
image works, I cannot guarantee if your TT will have a problem or not. So
far I've tried it out with 3 TT's and they all work. Also Atari Unix will
recognize Riebl VME ethernet cards and set them as /dev/en0 so you can hook
the TT up to the internet directly. I personally am going to see if I can
get Apache to work on the TT as it would be great to run a website for
Atari's on an actual Atari computer.
If you want a copy, I need a 300mb SCSI HD to Ghost the image to and you
pay
shipping to and from me.

Hi
my friend and i have been looking for this for a while...
is there a way to create a ghost image that is downloadable?
this way we can ghost it into our own drive ourselves?
there are two tt's we are trying to get going...
thanks for any info

I am trying to resurect some ancient HP laserjets. Two Laserjet II's
and one Laserjet 4v. Prior to failure they were all three running fine
and giving nice output. Then each just stoped and began to give the same
error message, "50 Service". Just what does this mean? Is it a
counter that has to be reset or is there really something wrong with
them. If the latter I am going to pull the ink cartridges and set them
out by the curb. If the former, can someone shed some light on the
correct procedure to get them going again.

New subject: HP Printers
OOps, I forgot to change the subject line on that last post.ead of "
Atari Unix " it should have been HP Printers. So here it is again
under the proper subject. I was in too much of a hurry and used an old
message to modify but failed to modify it completely.

Rumor has it that Jim Isbell may have mentioned these words:

I'm not trying to sound like a list-nazi or anything, but you really
shouldn't do that. It totally whacks out 1) any email programs that show
messages in a threaded manner, and 2) the list archives. Your "new, but not
really" message will still show up as a thread sub-message under the old
heading, and makes the archives harder to follow.
On more militant lists, this behavio[u]r can (and has) gotten people
desubbed... This isn't just a "top-post vs. bottom-post vs. middle-post"
debate - it really is a generally bad thing to do, and the "click reply,
wipe everything" doesn't really save much time at all, and is much more
prone to oopses.
Just my $0.0000000000000000000000002 (as that's what it's worth...),

P.S. Yes, I was also threatened once to get desubbed because a few of my
randomized .sigs are 5 lines instead of 4. They didn't *care* that one line
was blank, and shouldn't count... :-/ The list charter said "a .sig
*should* be no more than 4 lines" and they were taking it as gospel...

New subject: HP Printers
Well, the reason I joined this list not the "more strict" version was
that I thought such simple errors would not be commented on. When You
are as old as I am it is impossible not to make errors because DNA does
not reproduce faithfully. Its like making a Xerox of a Xerox, of a
Xerox....etc. This slow degradation leads to slow degradation of the
individual and this leads to degradation of the product from that
individual. I am flawed and there is no cure. Until it is possible to
easily do otherwise, I will continue my current practice...BUT....I will
be more careful in the future to make sure I corrected the address
line.....#8-)

New subject: HP printer Error 50 == fuser problems
I am trying to resurect some ancient HP laserjets. Two Laserjet II's
and one Laserjet 4v. Prior to failure they were all three running fine
and giving nice output. Then each just stoped and began to give the same
error message, "50 Service". Just what does this mean? Is it a
Fusr problems. The fuser did not get to the right temperature (either
too hot, or more likely too cold (it didn't heat up at all!).
I can tell you how to sort out the LJ II (SX engine).
Pull the fuser : Take off the cover at the left side (paper tray == front
side of the pinder) -- one screw on top. Undo the 4 fuser hold-down
screws and pull the fuser up and out.
At the right side of the fuser is a 2 pin plug that connected to the 'AC
power supply' module. Measuere the DC resistance between the pins on the
fuser. It should be a few ohms. If not, then the fuser lamp is open (or
the protection switch has failed). This is almost trivial to diagnose.
If the lamp is OK, then take off the printer casing, take the fan off the
top of the AC power supply (a few screws and a plug-in cable), then take
out the screws holding down the AC power supply and pull that out too.
Take it apart from the top. There are 2 PCBs in there. On the lower one,
check the triac (Q801 IIRC), it controls the fuser lamp. The upper one
contains protection circuity to turn off the fuser if the DC controller
goes crazy. Check the electrolytics and diodes on this board. It could be
a transistor failure, of course, but the caps and diodes seem to tbe the
common failures here.
If you can't find the fault, then I'll dig out my notes and diagrams and
talk you through the various signals.
