I originally said:
--I hope you people can help. I have a large number of disks in my possession
--which were created using the Bell Tech 'store' utility under sysadm. I have
--an Esix system which has a restore, but is apparently a different thing
--altogether, since I can't get any thing off the disks. I haven't a clue as
--to how the Bell Tech 'store' worked, but assume it was a script with some
--sort of strange cpio command in it. Regardless, I'd very much like to get this
--stuff off disk rather than copying it from the net again. If anyone can help,
--I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. -- SMY
Doug Ingraham responded:
-You might give that a try. Something like
-
-cpio -itv -I /dev/rdsk/f0q15d
-
-to get a directory of the tape. You might also try tar with the same
-device. I know that under 3.0 this is how most all the diskettes were
-written.
-
Bingo!! You were very nearly right, which got me the rest of the way. They
do, in fact, use the boot sector, so the device is f0q15dt. I hope the rest of
you find this as useful as I did. Thanks, Doug. -- SMY
