some RF subsystem controller for 5250 handheld terms to mainframe. bleh.

total snore, total 90s ware. Although heavy 3U computer cases with front handles and plexisliders are sexy.

I dont want to use dd commands just yet, since i have multipartitions..and it's a time waster, plus boot sector hell.

Here's the scoop
I am working on elderly 'appliance (HA!)' hardware.
specs are
RF subsystem controller, running OS2 on HPS, lots of partitions...
8gig! HDD :L MAO:

on a PII old intel mobo and lots of other memory lane hardware.

I want to image the HPFS parts to new HDD, then to maybe flash (if I can figure out how to boot it), and build a new applicance, whihc saves 6,000$ in paying some dumb vendor for ancient code.

SO....DOES ACRONIS TAKE HPFS still? If I can just DUPE the whole drive structure to some other paperweight Harddrive to then screw around with, I'd be happy. I'm just wondering before I hot this thing with my next move...

That is unless you have PM3/4/5 laing around...I had 5 and can't find it.

Interesting how this feature was removed, although nt4 hpfs and os2 hpfs is soooo dead..

Hello!
The answer is YES- Acronis still support HPFS, so you can use it with no problem.

Yes it worked smashingly thanks...I'm now to hardware to replicate a dying device, since it's highly stripped Os2 I am working with.
ugh all to save 3-5K bucks....
