	I'm looking for the address and name of an AT&T rep that was posted
	several month ago.  The contact was by 3b1 owners to obtain copies of
	FIXDISK disks. These disks were used to rebuild the kernel for the 3b1
	(unix-pc).  I beleive the update was referred to as UNIX V 3.51m.

	Does anyone in net-land have this address or know where I can obtain the
	disks?

Dunno 'bout at AT&T rep in these regards, but the FIXDISK #2 disks are
available from AT&T's HOTLINE (assuming you've registered your machine or
otherwise can convince them to send them to you; phone is 800/922-0354 from
the 3B1 manual), and are also available via uucp from osu-cis (details below)
and via ftp to cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu [IP 128.146.8.62] as ~pub/att7300/*

Information about Fixdisk 2.0 for software version 3.51: detailed list
of bug fixes, new window driver capabilities, and the "metermaid."

This is the UA-installable incarnation of UNIXpc Fixdisk 2.0 for
version 3.51.  You *must* have version 3.51 of the UNIXpc system
software in order to install these fixes.  NB: you do NOT need Fixdisk
1.0 in order to install 2.0.  In fact, all the 1.0 fixes are contained
in the 2.0 fixdisk.  And no, it is not possible to compress this file,
as it contains compressed files.

Can be used to make it possible to change some configurable parameters in
UNIX 3.51m.  Mark Dapoz was able to create a conf.h header file for use 
with the kernel object modules (kern.cpio.Z required)

-rw-rw-r--  1 ftp      10           4253 Aug  4 10:35 fpunix_tp.sh.Z

Lenny Tropiano included some conf.h patches to be able link in the
loadable floppy-tape (tp.o) device driver with the floppy unix (for
making restoral from floppy unix using tape easier)  (conf.sh.Z and
kern.cpio.Z required)

-rw-rw-r--  1 ftp      10         175199 Apr 12 19:31 kern.cpio.Z

Relocatable object files used to link the 3.51m kernel.  See conf.sh.Z
and fpunix_tp.sh.Z for more information.
