Need Help Salvaging Data From an Old Xenix System 325

Posted by timothy on Sunday March 21, 2010 @08:23AM from the warrior-princess dept.

Milo_Mindbender writes "I've recently gotten ahold of an old Altos 586 Xenix system (a late '80s Microsoft flavor of Unix) that has one of the first multi-user BBS systems in the US on it, and I want to salvage the historical BBS posts off it. I'm wondering if anyone remembers what format Xenix used on the 10MB (yes MB) IDE hard drive and if it can still be read on a modern Linux system. This system is quite old, has no removable media or ethernet and just barely works. The only other way to get data off is a slow serial port. I've got a controller that should work with the disk, but don't want to tear this old machine apart without some hope that it will work. Anyone know?"

The article says the vest "can stop a 9mm bullet traveling at 1777 feet per second."

1777fps is very fast for a typical 9mm load. You'd have to use a very light bullet with a large charge to push it that fast. Even the hot 9mm+P Corbon loads only get about 1500fps out of a 90 grain bullet.

This sounds a little suspicious to me. The 9mm cartridges I shoot range from around 1190fps for a 115 grain bullet to about 1120 for the 124 grain bullet.
