I have all of these files on mauxci.UUCP in Toronto. You can log in as uu_aux with aux201 as the password. The files are located in /usr/spool/uucppublic/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit. The file names are as Antonio posted them (see above). Assuming that you have UUCP set up on your A/UX machine you can add something similar to the following line to your L.sys file: mauxci Any tty0 19200 tty0 "" ATDT14165134271\r\d in:--in: uu_aux word: aux201 Adjust the baud rate to local norms. Then use the following command to copy a file to your machine: uucp mauxci!~/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit/README /usr/spool/uucppublic Repeat the command for each of the file names or use the "*" wildcard to get them all. I also have created dd(1) disk images for each of the Incremental Upgrade Disks. The idea is that people purchasing the Upgrade Kit will ocasionaly get a bad disk. Simply request the replacement disk from mauxci.UUCP. The files are in ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks. The name of the disk that you need to replace will be 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.xxx where "xxx" is a disk number (1-12) or a name (Install, ReadMe, StartUtil, Startup). 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.Install 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.1 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.12 Finally, there is a *very* simple script in the ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks directory called "Unload" that will recreate the diskette from its image file. -ped- -- _.
