Thanks guys.

I've gotten my hands on this already. This is in the hopes of resurrecting a set of bad UniPlus Unix disks for the Apple Lisa. Its owner is selling his Lisa on ebay, and wants to include these disks as a bonus, but since they're bad, I'm trying to get as much data off of them as possible. DiskCopy 4.2 stop at the first unreadable block.

While I'm sure that I won't be able to get all the data off of them, I'm hoping that at least CopyIIMac will read past the first error and copy as much as it can.

The ebay auction is here:

And here's some pix:

Turns out UniPlus is a pretty cool little Unix... at least it has a lot more stuff in it than the Xenix distros for the Lisa. (Fortran, Pascal, ability to use an ethernet card, ability to use a datatower hard drive, etc.)

I'll go install 6.0.8 on my IIsi and keep my fingers crossed.

Would be a shame to let this be lost.

Thanks again, Kallikak.

Tony, thank you for the info. :-) Get home safe once the mess over there is over.
