My situation: Old iPhone 3S, I switched carriers months ago, so no active AT&T contract.

I used the AT&T Wireless Support Chat, Tech Support. Told them I wanted an unlock. Initially got told they couldn't do it, I quoted the press release article. After a couple minutes, the tech opened a ticket for unlocking and said I'll hear by April 16th, 2012. So we'll wait and see.

Short version: Chat works, but be ready with that copy and paste. Also reading asking for a supervisor is helping some folks.

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?"
