If anyone has the expertise to look at and repair the museum AT&T unix machine, it would be much appreciated. The symptoms seem to be that it is endlessly looking for a boot sector and not finding it (based on the symptoms and looking it up on a website). There is a green screen with characters slowly going across endlessly. Please contact Evan or myself if you have the ability and time.
Is this the 3B1/7300? Have you tried booting the diag floppy? I will bring one. Most likely the hard drive has died. The drive is normally a Miniscribe 6085 MFM full height 70M drive.
