Hi All, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to keep an an early 1990's IPX based PCB CAD system operational. I have another complete IPX which can be canibalised for hardware spares, but no copy of SunOs 4.1.3 or the CAD package that runs on it. Even If I had I'm not sure that I would be able to install and configure it without any manuals. Both IPX's have had the NVRAM hack and now have a 1/2AA lithium cell that should keep the clock ticking until I'm in a box! My question is can I somehow copy the entire disk so that in the event of the disk drive failing I can rebuild the system. The drives in both the IPXs are the same - SUN424. I have an Archive Viper QIC150 tape drive. An Exabyte EXB-8500 tape drive. A SUN CD ROM drive. A non-SUN SCSI external drive box and some SCSI disks in the 1 to 2 GByte size range. Network cables +AUI -> 10baseT adapters. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Regards to all on Suns@home. Martin Nichols, Surrey UK.
