I have yet to figure out a *safe* way to clone
the OS to another
disk for backup.
I recommend reading the following man pages as a start: osmgr(8),
sdfinit(8), mkrs(8). Follow the "see also" links in the pages for
more info.
Will do.
Having a 9144 or equivalent CS/80 cartridge tape drive (and
cartridges) could be a Good Thing, that's the sort of device that mkrs
wants to build its bootable tape filesystem upon.
Yeah, I have a few of those (and a 9145 and a weird 9142 + 7979a)
btw, thanks for the article list. It looks like I really have to start
looking for those, probably from the reprint service.
Meanwhile in HP land:
I found a bunch of manuals:
HP27110B CIO/HP-IB Interface Card
HP 7936/7937 Operating and Installation Manual
HP 7957S/7958S/7959S Owner's Manual
HP 27110A HP-IB Interface Installation Manual
HP 27130B 8-Channel Multiplexer Interface Card Installation Manual
HP 7941/7945 Owner's Manual
HP 7933 Disc Drive Operator Instructions (I need a new pack btw.)
(Cough) Wollongong WIN/TCP for HP 9000 Series 500 manual
non HP:
Teletype ASR-33 Technical manual Vol 1 & 2
+ parts (has blowout pictures and listings)
ADM-5 Users Reference Manual
ADM-3A Operators Manual
Decwriter IV Users Guide
Nokia NOP-30 (printing terminal) manual
HP 7974A Magnetic Tape Subsystem Operator's Manual + the drive itself!!!
Now I just have to figure out how to move the 180 kilograms of steel
and air down a long staircase either to a trailer or a van. I think
I might have to bribe some guys with beer.
I also found the OS tapes and some other stuff.
