[tech] [committee] Labtam

[James Andrewartha]

Hi Michael,

I've checked and we still have the nfs mounts for the Labtams 
(murasoi:/tftpboot/tektronix and /tftpboot/xengine) and I believe a boot 
image (/tftpboot/tftpboot.img) but I'm not 100% it's for them (it's MIPSEB 
but the files in tektronix are MIPSEB-LE). We appear to have had two 
Labtam CT300 models, I definitely used them back in the day but I don't 
know if we still have the hardware. We can probably tar up the software 
for you though.
