Advance apology for any re-hashing, I just started reading this group. So, does anyone know if there is some magic one has to perform to load up AUX 1.1.1 from CDROM using the Apple supplied floppy disk set (floppy boot-n-root) 'cause I have had no success. It typically gets as far as bringing up a console screen with the apple in the middle but then just hangs. Configuration is: IIcx/Supermac Spectrum II/19" Grey Scale Does this stuff only work on an "Official Apple monitor" combo? Any help would be appreciated. Also, has anyone out there written a utility in MacOS similar to the Apple Tape Backup software that lets you see (and possibly copy/backup) A/UX partitions? I could sorely use it. I have a Mass-Micro DataPak and it would make a great backup unit. (It would make an even better removable filesystem vehicle if Mass-Micro would get off their duff and write a driver!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ancient Proverb: A person with one watch knows what time it is; a person with two watches is never sure.

If a DataPak is a Syquest 44m removable just go buy Silverlining, it will format your Syquest's to be A/UX partitions for you. -David
