I am posting this for a friend who does not have net access yet. Please email replies to me and I shall forward them. Thanks. -stacy =========================== I currently own an AT&T 3B1 and am interested in information concerning the following: 1. Hardware availability i) Addtional Hard Drives - A SCSI controller. - A Second hard drive controller &/or modifications necessary to accomodate a second hard drive. - Availability and suppliers ii) Memory expansion - Availability and suppliers iii) Streaming tape devies - Greater than the 20 or so megabyte device that AT&T provides as an option for the 3B1. - Availability and suppliers 2. Software availability i) Currently I am running version 3.51a of the operating system. Is version 3.51b or c available through USENET? Or must it be purchased through AT&T USA. It seems that AT&T Canada has no knowlegde of the b or c release. ii) Is there any software, available through USENET, that can be used on the 3B1 ( bug fixes, modifications, games etc.. etc.. etc.. ). iii) Is there any second party source that is working on a version of UNIX System V version 4 and/or 5 release for the 3B1? 3. Personal ports I currently have the following software rewritten from various UNIX systems available for public domain distribution: - UCB chfn chsh csh finger last leave lock lastcomm more page printenv strings users what whereis whoami - System V at, cron, crontab login news pwck su wall - Personal talk 4. 3B1 software problems I am currently having problems with the following software: - sometimes the modem will not answer and /etc/ph has to be killed and restarted. - layers will not work with the safari 4 terminal. Is this terminal not supported by the software? Is a specialized graphics terminal needed? The error message that is reported by layers is: layers - error - Not an XT windowing terminal The documentation is very vague concerning operation of the software. I would appreciate any information available concerning any of the above problems. Thank-you. - Tom Obuck Regina, Saskatchewan Canada =========================== -- "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a women?" - Gene Wilder _See No Evil Hear No Evil_ S. L.
