Anyone have a working Apple Network Server?

[RadRacer203]

Wondering if anyone happens to have a working Apple Network Server with AIX loaded who might be able to send me an image of the hard drive. I have an ANS 500/132 and I'm having endless issues getting AIX installed on it after the drive failed. I'm hoping to have it at VCF East in a couple weeks and I honestly don't see that happening unless I get a good hard drive image. If anyone has one, PLEASE let me know!

I don't know if I can "image" the drive since it's spread out across a RAID volume, but I can get you ISO images of the AIX install media if that will help.

The AIX install is not too tricky once you know the device name to install to, and boot the AIX media with the key in the "service" position. Maybe if you can say more about what trouble you are having we can sort it out.

I've an ANS 500/200, but I couldn't imagine how you'd image the drive too easily - the software install CD is here:

Ok, managed to get a good install, and it's working well enough for VCF. That was a fiasco
