According to the docs you can copy from the hard drive to a floppy, however there is no way to copy the operating system from the hard drive onto another hard drive, it appears that Fluke used a copy protection system to prevent that. The docs mention that the floppy used to upload the new operating system must have their write-protect tab set to write, and then you can't reload the new operating system. I tried to hook up a second hard drive to the outboard SCSI port, but the system did not appear to identify it, wouldn't even ask if I wanted to format it. My W2K SCSI card did not identify the drive in the 9100 either...rats...
Sounds *worse* than Microshaft XP :) What are the exact model/number/descriptions of the drive? With some research there may be a way to do a direct copy from drive to drive or similar. Anybody have an original OS install floppy? (unused I guess) I have a system that would have a good chance of imaging it and copying it.
I'm reading an old reference book on the PC (save EVERYTHING!) but while it talks a bit about the keyboard, it doesn't go into detail on the serial output format/speed.
Certainly an IBM keyboard will plug in, and it is set up correctly for the power, but with no schematics on the 9100 I can't tell if the signal lines are configured correctly. Neither the AT or PC settings work, although the PC setting will allow the Num/Cap key LEDs to lit on/off.
