he happened to drop that he had a A/UX tape that he
could not read as his tape
drive had "gone goo" It turns out to be A/UX 1.1 (!)
I really hope he didn't discover this by attempting to read the tape. If so,
he now has goo on the tape, and it will be extremely difficult to recover.
FWIW, I have an image of A/UX 1.0, made in the days when the only way to get
a copy was to go over to Bubb Road with a disc and have the original A/UX
group clone it for you.

Any chance of you sharing that image of A/UX 1.0?

I think I still have them somewhere. It was a/ux 1.0, however, so it's
not very interesting.

I have 2.1 on CD and 2 copies of 3.x that went with the AWS95, just curious
on what 1.0 looks like (would have to find a machine to even run it).

I'd be interested in this as well (run 3.x on my IIci right now).

Anybody know if A/UX 1.0 was recovered from that tape? Anybody on the list
have 1.x available?

If you ment me, it turns out it was v0.7. I found the tape and read it.
I'm not sure what is there, to be honest. I thought it was the whole
kernel source tree but I don't think it is. But then again, I just
looked and it does seem to have most everything, just in odd places.
Looks like a tar of the root directory. It might boot if you had the
macos loader program. I don't have any info on the disk structure,
however. Not doubt others could reconstruct it. I don't have any macs
that old anymore.
As I recall there was a mac program which would set up the proper disk
partitions and a stand alone shell (sash) which ran under mac os and
a program which would boot a kernel from sysv disk parition, allowing
you to enter kernel boot args.
While I am a firm believer in copyrights, the archivist in me is going
to close it's eyes for a moment:

I think you'd find there to be more than a few folks on this list who

I just looked in a drawer in my home office and found an 8mm tape

much easier to read and more reliable than 8mm - for me anyway)
Last time I tried my 8mm drive would not load, but I think I have
another aquired at a swap. I'll try reading some other expendable 8mm's
first.
