Chuck, I agree with Henry. I don't see why the math-coprocessor would affect the instruction set since it's backwards compat to i386. I have an original set of AP/Pro 6.1.15 floppies but I'm missing system disk #1 so that may be worthless. I have PicLAN though! Disk #1 is probably around here somewhere, I just haven't needed to find it. If the system is AP/Pro 6.x then it should boot just fine under 386, 486, and 586 (protected mode). I assume it's an ISA SCSI-1 disk? I have a 586 footprint PC sitting behind me with PCI+ISA. I also have an external 4mm DAT SCSI-1 tape drive sitting at home if you need it. I think I may also have some DDS1 2GB tapes in a drawer somewhere. If you run into issues with data recovery, shoot Doug Dumitru an e-mail. I dunno if he'll have time to play or not, but he may have some pointers on where to go. My memories of AP/Pro were short and filled with GFE horrors so I've mentally blocked most of it out. :) ---------------------------------------- Glen Batchelor IT Director All-Spec Industries phone: (910) 332-0424 fax: (910) 763-5664 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.all-spec.com Blog: http://blog.all-spec.com ----------------------------------------
