Support HP-UX filesystem #163

Open darkstar opened 6 years ago

darkstar commented 6 years ago

Attached is a disk dump from a HP-UX floppy.

It contains the Software "MemoMaker" in version 1.01 (though not original but dumped from a copy)

It supposedly runs under HP-UX 5 or 7, on the old HP-200 workstation (m68k architecture)

I have no idea about the filesystem on the disk, but it's apparently nothing that fil(1) or DiscImageChef image-info can identify...

MemoMaker_HPUX.zip

Disclaimer: The disk was provided by user "thunderbird32" on BetaArchive

fil(1) or lif(1)?

darkstar commented 6 years ago

Sorry. I meant file(1) of course...

Unfortunately only that image doesn't give me enough information, I'm trying to get access to such a machine but to no avail right now. Do you think you can get more images, create custom images, or get access to a working environment?

I know, that's why I asked on IRC if it even makes sense to add this issue ;-)

The machine is rather rare, I'm not aware of any working emulators, let alone physical systems still running (except, maybe, in various computer museums). I think someone is writing a MAME driver for it though, so this might change in the future.

Also, I think these are for the same system, although I'm not sure
