Apologies if this is common knowledge or has been posted before: We have an AT&T 3B2/300 running UNIX System V, version 2.0. There is an undocumented option available when booting the machine from the essential utilites floppies. When the first disk is inserted, a menu is given with options to Install software, Remove software, and something else which slips my mind right now. If you ignore these choices and type 'magic mode' (no quotes), it responds with the word 'POOF!' and then gives you the same choices with one added: 'shell'. Obviously, this is a nice option to have at that point... -- Roger W. Terrell UUCP: ...cbosgd!musky2!terrell (or) terrell@musky2.UUCP CSNet: ccterrell%Muskingum.EDU@relay.cs.net
