A kind soul has given me his Convergence Technology 6300 system. It runs a UNIX V derivative called CTIX 3.2. The catch is: it does not comes with any maual, backup disks, installation disk etc ... But, the system is already installed (CTIX 3.2) on the 40 meg hard drive. Now my problem: 1) I want to backup COMPLETELY the hard disk to the 360K floppy. so, even if I crash, burn the hard drive I could reinstall the system onto another drive (boot track and all). Currently I don't even know how to format the floppy so if anyone can show me a step-by-step procedure (what I type and what the system response), I would be very greatful. 2) I like to install another hard drive to the thing. The cable doesn't look SCSI but standard MFM as in the IBMPC with one data and one control cable to the drive. I assumed that I need to move some jumper, change the controller cable to a twisted cable, get another data cable and hook it up. I don't know how to mount the thing or to get the system to recognize it so any help here is great. Also, how do I low level format, high level format the thing? 3) I have a TELERAY terminal that comes with the system but the terminal is set for vt-100 in the system. How do change this to the TELERAY. I got a termcap file from a BSD V system (SUN 3/50) and it has the TELERAY definition table. So do I just replace this with the termcap file in /etc/termcap. Some one also told me to play with the gettytab file but, I want to backup my system first! 4) I have a 2400 and 1200 baud modem (hayes & something else) and would like to connect it to the system at serial port 1. Port 0 is for the TELERAY terminal. How do I get the system to recognize and control the modem? both for remote login and logout to other systems. 5) After I have all the above setup, I would like to get a better C compiler (GCC,GDB,G++ ?). The current compiler is limitted to only 8 character variable names and most proggrams now-a-days have long names variables. Thanks if anyone can helps, Alex Davis labb-1ea@web.berkeley.edu and ttam@cory.berkeley.edu P.S. Does anyone have a set of UNIX manuals that is nolonger needed?
