[comp.sys.att] 7300->3b1,tar,Thanks...

I would like to know SPECIFICALLY what parts are used in the
UNIX-PC 7300 -> 3b1 conversion kit, as sold by ATT.  I haven't had
much luck finding out so far.  I'd like to know what's involved,
what's changed, why the darn thing costs so much (kind of expensive
for a 67meg HD and a plastic cover).  I. E., does 67meg a 3b1 make?

Secondly, I have received a disk with APL on it in a tar file
(Thanks again, Scott!!), and, since outgoing mail seems to be hosed
on this machine, I'm posting the question -- is it possible to convert
a tar file from floppy, and if so, how?  I've failed miserably using
the manual page for tar as a guide.
