RE: hooking up laptop to a filer
by Sam Schorr 08 Sep '99

Confidentially (shush!!), setup is just like attaching a console (9600-N-8-1, no flow control). On penalty of something very evil, do not share this information with the toasters mail list - they'll probably misuse this crucial information (just joking around - the setup is pretty straight forward). -----Original Message----- From: leonard.galinsky(a)philips.com [mailto:leonard.galinsky@philips.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 1999 7:36 AM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: hooking up … [View More]

Tedious booting from floppies
by Dave Atkin 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Is there any way to do a maintenance style boot without actually using boot floppies? Maybe by copying the contents of the boot floppies onto a spare disk? The boot command appears to take an argument but I haven't figured out what it is. We just spent a whole day moving data from old F230s to new 740s and we ended up booting from floppies numerous times, partly due to the 740 crashing whenever we tried to put the old volume on line. Waiting for the floppies got very tedious, especially now … [View More]

Differential DLT drives in the UK
by Dave Atkin 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Can anyone recommend a source of these in the UK? Our supplier, having now sent us two different single-ended drives by mistake, is saying that the differential versions are only available on special order and it may take up to 12 weeks.

Re: Tedious booting from floppies

Thanks for all the replies. We'll use the "setenv floppy-boot? true" next time. Some people asked about the crashes we had. It was when we moved a set of SCSI disks onto a 740 from a 230, having first renamed the volume on the old 230 to be called "old". The 740 also had some FCAL disks, although it didn't make any difference to the crash whether or not they were connected. We booted the 740 with 5.2.2P1 in maintenance mode (in order to sort out the volume names) from floppy with the old … [View More]

With floppies, you can make new images as often as you like or need. With cdrom's, you are stuck unless you have a cd burner (which are more common place now) and the time to spend doing so. I think a better solution … [View More]
