Message-ID: Date: 2 Jan 91 14:28:48 GMT Organization: Questor: FREE Worldwide News & Mail Access => +1 604 681.0670 Lines: 15 Does anyone out there know how to backup the 105 MB Hard Disk on the NeXTstation to 1.44meg floppies ? Why does it take so long to write/read to the floppy drive ? I've boosted the priority of the process writing/reading to the floppy (with the RENICE command) but it doesn't seem to help much . /==============================================================\ | lclarke@questor.wimsey.bc.ca | c/o TRIUMF Operations | | larry@triumfcl.bitnet | University of B.C.
