As far as I know I do have an HP IEEE488 ISA Board lying around somewhere, and I'l ltry to look at the stack of old Motherboards if I can find something with a "higher" CPU and ISA Slots to build a Windoze computer that can be connected to the 9121D Drive so that I can restore the images to disks. ... What about those LIF Utils (lifdump, lifimage)from Tony Duell (Tony??)? Can I make disks for the data, maybe by reordering sectors and such? I don't have a computer that natively runs some Linux currently, but installing a Kinux souldn't be a big problem. If I get your permission Glen, I'll upload the images to my pulblically reachable dumpster of old data (www.tiffe.de/Robotron) so that anyone can download them.. Regards, Holm -- Technik Service u.
