Amiga Unix running on a Picasso II+

[Failure]

Well I put a draft up during my lunch break.  Just minor edits and I filled in some inferred commands.  Clickie here.

@Tahoe: I sent a PM, thanks for the kind offer.

@jlariv8957: mmheart is where I pulled the 2.01 and 2.03 tape stuff from originally.  I had emailed him a couple times after the site disappeared...no bounces, but no reply either.

That's Great, Thanks!

Here is the output from uname -a

I originally bought my A3000UX (ten years ago) to run Amiga Unix.  When I got it, the Unix tape got erased in customs from Canadia.  So, I installed Amiga 2.0, and didn't waste any time getting 3.1 ROMs and getting the 1.4 ROMs out.  How would I go about getting my hands on a good tape in case someday I migrate AmigaOS-wise away from this A3000UX which has been the most reliable computer I've ever owned, and want to install Amiga Unix on it?  (Like I really need any more Unix around here, I've got enough Sparcstations to go from floor to cieling.)

@AMC258
You can download the version 2.1 files to create your own tape from Failures web site (In his sig. above)

The challenge is finding a compatible tape drive. The A3070 itself is quite rare, but it's just a rehousing of what should be a common, dirt-cheap mechanism. Unfortunately, the clowns who have a stock of them on eBay and elsewhere seem to think they're worth upwards of $200. For a 150MB tape drive. Insane.
