Hello,
Does anyone has TP-IX/68k or TP-IX/88k tapes or preinstalled disk?
I have a bunch of 68k based TP32, found the documentation and original
EPROM.
And another board TP-880 which can run even more exotic release TP-IX/88k.
Thanks,
Plamen
I think you'll find the best upgrade for it besides the RAM is a faster
hard drive. Also I wouldn't go higher than nextstep 3.3. Blackhole (
http://www.blackholeinc.com) is your best bet for the stand. If this is the
one from eBay, would you mind sharing more details/pics of that next logo

Do you have another compatible sparc machine which you could install the OS
and transfer the drive from? Also is it possible to update the ROM to a
newer version on these? Just a gut feeling, but that would be my likely
suspect.

Hi All,
I'm looking for an old (before 3/2000) copy of Veritas* Systems "Storage

This is for business purposes - so there's a "bounty" available :)
Cheers,

I saw this article over on the Hercules group, and was amused.

That is what was nice about the Microtest. It used the _analogue_ alignment disk
but took the place of the 'scope and drive ex

A tool was published by Landmark called "Align It" and ran on MS-DOS. I
don't know if you can find it, but it was a pretty decent tester and
even provides a test log for each drive.
I don't know if the guys at Accurite still have Drive Probe (a similar
product to AlignIt) in stock, but they s

Well, I think there are a few IBM System/360 and System/370 machines
out there, I think. Why not just use them in 1401 emulation mode (if
