Not so much 'checks for them' as 'uses large numbers of

I'm trying to boot a Bull DPX/2 and got stuck waiting for NFS to do

Is there anyone on the list with B.O.S experience that could help me

I just received the BC11A-T variant boards (the ribbon cables come out the

Is there a utility that will read .IMD diskette archive files and recover
the data? I've found a wealth of BigBoard & BigBoard II data (and lots of
other stuff too) on many different sites, all saved in .IMD format. Is it
