I have a client that was still using a DL2 as their main automation system until last night. I installed it in new 1995. I have been warning them for years that they were playing with fire, but to no avail.
Anyway...yesterday afternoon they took a power line surge, and it wiped out the power supply, the hard drive for the OS, and the hard drive controller card. I was able to rob a power supply and controller card out of another unit we picked up locally several years ago from another station. The problem is, the hard drive from that machine has a different version of the software installed, and crashes right after it loads, with instructions to "note what last happened last and call Arrakis support" I am a little surprised, as the box is on a UPS. The same surge also took out their WW1 Wegener iPump receiver for their music format. Everything else in the building is OK. I did have to power cycle the Audioarts board to settle it down, but it gracefully recovered.
In any event, does anyone possibly have a copy of the 3 1/2 floppies with the Digilink V3 program install files? I have a copy of MSDOS around here somewhere, but not the program.
Any help would be appreciated. There are some critical audio files on the old machine. As many of you may recall, the audio file format that Arrakis used on this system is proprietary.
Thanks,
Kevin
