Old Unix system IDRIS

[Douglas Taylor]

I tinker with old laboratory equipment and got a Bio-Rad 3200 
computer the other day that runs a spectrometer.

It is a 68030 based system that runs a version of Whitesmiths 
unix.  It came with a bunch of floppys dated 1992.

It runs just fine and I would like to get advice on how to preserve 
the contents of the small SCSI disk inside the computer and the floppys.

As an aside, I didn't know any passwords to get me into the 
system.  My first try to log on as root using the password 'password' 
worked, I had to laugh.
