Forum rules


Please read the following rules before posting a download request in this area:

1. Don't post a request if you have under 10 posts as stated on the front page. If you do anyway, it will be deleted without further notice. This also applies to other members: If you see a request by someone with less than 10 posts and it hasn't been deleted yet, please don't reply to it.
2. Don't request for warez or any copyrighted software. Only betas (no matter how old or new) and finals of operating systems and applications that are at least 10 years old and therefore classified as abandonware are allowed to be uploaded to and shared on the BetaArchive FTP server.
3. If you have your own FTP server where you'd like other members to upload what you're looking for to, please don't post its login details in any open forum as that will probably lead to abuse. Post the login details in the Private Servers section instead.
4. Check that we don't already have the file on our FTP servers. If you don't have access to the FTP servers then ask someone who has (a moderator for example).

This is something I would never really have a use for but this would be an awesome thing to archive, as some day someone will be looking for it.

Ok,

I uploaded it on BA :beta:
When you make install tape use non-rewinding device. in linux the command is something like this: for i in `seq 1 5`;do dd if=./file.$i of=/dev/nst0 bs=512;done

Good luck!

Sure!
Besides the installed image, it is nice to have the original tar/cpio.

AFAIK DELL UNIX supports these tapes:
Wangtek 150MB,250MB
Wangtek SCSI -320MB and 525MB
HP 4mm DAT SCSI

You can always try with different tape device, however not all controllers are supported. Supported SCSI models are:
Adaptec 1524B
Adaptec 1750

You'll also need 2 bootable diskettes which I don't have right now.
So it will be little hard to install it on real machine :|

OK, I will tag the release as (incomplete) until you will be able to provide the boot floppies.
