Recently aquired a 3B2-400. After a little smoke, and a few trips of the circuit breakers, the machine is alive.
The primary hard drive does not appear to be readable, it tries, but it clearly needs a LLF and reinstall.
I have ~10 of the Programming Utility Disks, but not the idtools config/maintenance disk nor the UNIX System V install disks.
Online I have managed to find:
idtools v2.0 - binary copy
System V R3.2 - binary copies of the six main disks
The disk format required is DSDD 96tpi (250kbps, 300rpm, 80 tracks - 720KB) a.k.a. DSQD or DS2D
Does anyone have System V R2.0 disk images? (this would match my library of books)
Does anyone know how I can get my PC to write the images?
Is 300kbps @ 360rpm the same as 250kbps @ 300rpm? Is there a tool you can recommend?
I was just going to use ImageDisk on my 1.2Mb drive with DSDD media, set it to 300kbps, and write the images. But my image files aren't in IMD format. They're just binary copies with no file extension. If anyone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic.
