is an FTP site site in the US would someone let me know. I'm in the process of porting GCC over to my machine. From: ttam@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Tony Tam) Path: cory.Berkeley.EDU!ttam Thanks Alex P.S. As an aside, what do I need to get a complete 'working' C compiler GCC? onto my system. Do I need the GAS, GDB ... I have a 68010 chip in my system with 512K of RAM. P.S.S. Any one has a Convergent Technology 6300 that understands how to upgrade it. I need more memory and a bigger (or a second) hard drive. P.S.S. How do I back-up a complete hard disk. Boot track and all. Cpio only back-up the files.

You should check-out the comp.sys.3b1 newsgroup. Your system, actually the Motorola 6300, was manufactured by Convergent Technologies for Motorola; a logically-identical system is the 3B1 mfd. for AT&T; and the Convergent Tech MiniFrame *IS* the same as the Motorola 6300. GCC has already been ported to the 3B1, and I (recall having) had no problems getting it running on either my 6300 or 6350 (two HDs). The 3B1 version at Ohio State (uucp via osu-cis, ftp at cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu [128.146.8.62], in the att7300 directory (the 3B1 is aka UNIXPC and PC7300)) "may" be using the shared libraries (which aren't available on the 6300), but all the tm-* and xm-* files for the 3B1 "should" allow you to recompile gcc no sweat. I've changed the "followup" to comp.sys.3b1 and sent email to `ttam' with more info (esp. regarding the Bay Area users' group). Thad Floryan [ thad@btr.com (OR) {decwrl, mips, fernwood}!btr!thad ]
