Just to say I now have a bootable copy of the OS on SD card. I got caught out because OS2 wildcarding works like UNIX wild carding, not MSDOS wild carding. So in order to back up the "C" drive you need "XCOPY C:\* ...". I instinctively used "*.*" which misses out a whole bunch of files, especially those used by the code page conversion routines. Whilst it boots cleanly (and quietly). The machine is noticeably slower on SD card so I think I might have to try a RAID or other fast/wide SCSI solution once I have good backups of the other drives. > OI think there are plenty of P390 boxes around, and most of the software is > available, but its interesting to a Mainframe OS on real hardware. > The Hercules emulator on a modern (Core i3 or Core I5) PC is much faster > than the P390. > > > > > > > -- > > Grant. . . . > > unix || die > > Dave Dave
