 |
|
Anyone got an older copy of SunOS (eg 4.xx although I'm not fussy)
on *tape* - ie the old QIC tape distributions. Any format.
I'm looking for original tapes and docs if anyone has them for
sale/trade/free?
Many thanks
Ian. |

9-track or QIC? By now, the bits might be rotting off tapes from that era..
Even more a problems is the drive. The Big Black Wheel will turn to
Black Goo TM within minutes of starting to read the tape.

I have a DC6150 drive that anyone is welcome to, for the P&P. (I'm
in the UK).
They can have a big bag of tapes, too, if I can find a way to bulk erase
them, else they have to be destroyed, I'm afraid.

I think the CD-ROM images are loads quicker to install though, though
not many were produced on CD-ROM.

Sun 3 would be preferred if its available? I do have various working
QIC drives
eg the older QIC-02, and QIC-11 drives. They appear to be OK.

I only have copies myself for sun3/sun3x..
But sun3arc is backup, and the images are available online.

The Sun3 zoo is good too
