Let me know what version of CTIX; if mine is newer, and I can get the OS
installed to clone a tape, I'll clone one for you or whomever gets this
system.

Wow, finally someone with documentation for one of these machines!
Hopefully there are some similarities between the miniframe and this
system other than the chasis. I'd like to obtain a copy of the
documentation pertaining to system installation so that I can include
some information from it about loading the OS in the Miniframe FAQ.
While I have two CTIX tapes, I've never been able to figure out how to
get past booting from a tape and formatting the hard drive.
