What a mix, right? First the AIX stuff. v2.2.1, definitely on-topic. My RT has been laid up with a failing IDE disk for a while. The E70s that it came with were serious junk, and near death. I now have a couple of Maxtor ESDI disks to play with, and I also found a 1.2GB Medalist that should work in it with the IDE/floppy controller that's presently in it. For power/BTU reasons I'll go with IDE if possible. The problem is that the AIX floppy images are no longer on the dementia.org FTP site, and I've stupidly lost my archive of them. Does anybody happen to have them stashed away? Floppy images are nice, or I have the sort-of-SCSI 1/4" tape streamer and adapter too. For whatever it's worth, my company is an AIX software and services partner. That means I can legally have any version of AIX needed to do or to properly research my work. :) While I'm at it, does anybody have an RT mouse they don't want, or a Matrox graphics adapter? On to Amiga UNIX. The little information I can find about installation (see rant below) says that the original v2.x requires a Commodore 3070 tape drive, which is an Archive Viper-150 in an external enclosure. I don't have an Archive drive, but I do have an IBM-firmwared Tandberg TDC 3600 an a Sun-firmwared TDC 4220, both of which are QIC-150 compatible. The first question is whether AMIX looks for Commodore firmware on the tape drive, or will any 150MB quarter-inch drive work? The second question is whether install media for AMIX v1.x exists in downloadable form? <rant> Somebody mentioned "more appropriate fora for discussion" the other day. Well, the only active AMIX forum seems to be a freakin' MSN Group. Since I don't have and don't EVER want an MSN .Net Passport, I don't get to play there. Do they think all the world is already owned by MSN? </rant> Doc
