I talked to Tim Pointing today and he says that dciem (the 11/70) has been down due to various component failures and was on the way back up when somebody accidentally wiped out dciem's root file system. Unfortunately dciem doesn't have a backup root file system (on disk), and their tape controller seems to be leaving off the last couple bytes of some tape blocks, so they are unable to restore a working root file system. Tim didn't estimate when dciem will be back up. I'll check with him tomorrow. -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!utstat!geoff, utstat.toronto.{edu,cdn}!geoff
