Somebody is selling an original cd (no manual) of oracle 7 for a/ux 3.0.1 on ebay. Anybody ever try oracle on a/ux? Is it lurking on a server around here somewhere? |

what's the link to the auction? If someone here were to buy that, I would *VERY* much like an opportunity to try it out/see it in action as well  Official 68k videographer

I managed to pick up one of the two copies of Oracle that he was selling, along with some A/UX docs which I have partially scanned. Someone who knows what they are doing please email me to tell me where to post them. I dont use hotline but I can provide ftp/http/afp server space and some bandwidth for the docs and Oracle for a while.Logan Quadra 950, Workgroup Server 9150, Performa 6400, Powerbook 2300c, 4x Quadra 700's, iBook |

I can kinda-sorta pretend that I know what I'm doing I've been researching running databases on 68k's and that would be just the thing that I need. How big would an ISO of the CD be? (No more than 650 mb ~ish, one would hope) (*seein's how I'm on dialup ) Official 68k videographer

I am sure there are Oracle for dummies books around. The version on EBAY was for A/UX 3.0.1, not sure how 3.1 works with it.I have cable so d/l an iso isnt a problem for me.

I'm on dialup, so as long as ftp or http supports continuing downloads, or it's over hotline, I'm fine (usually)A/UX 3.0.whatever can be updated to 3.1.whatever, I think that that particular thing is even on Apple's website. Official 68k videographer

Some apps compiled for 3.0.1 might have problems with 3.1, anyway we wont know until somebody has it on a server for download. My aws95 is setup and ready for it.

I have the files and burned the cd on my PC. Just rename the file to *.iso and burn it with nero like the A/ux 2.0 cd floating around.I was going to do it on my 8500 powermac but the thing pissed me off when the bracket holding the start button broke into a few pieces (dam cheap fragile plastic). I can still turn it on/off from the keyboard but now the power light is just hanging in the case because the bracket held it in place. Need to find a new one or buy a cheap 9500 and put all the parts into it. Anyway the cd was recognised in my aws95 box. It has a screen for installing into apple os or a/ux (2 seperate options). I went to install but the instructions said I needed to install some C libraries from the a/ux install so I will leave it for another day.
