DEC 2000 Data Transfer to PC
Hello -

My first post here. I did some looking around; wasn't sure where to jump in or if something like this has been covered.

I have a DEC 2000 Alpha that was turned off probably 6 years ago once I had made the transition of programs and most files to the desktop PC. I have the idea that I would like to revive it for the sake of retrieving any valuable information that I may have left on it. I have DAT tapes but have no way of reading them other than to bring the system up. I suppose I could send the tapes off to be read, but there's sensitive information on the tapes.

Can anyone recommend a course of action? Should I just plug in power and turn it on? Could I remove the hard drive and attach it to a local server and communicate with it that way? I was never very good as the system administrator, but have instructions on the general boot process. I would work with our IT department to make sure the connections are correct.

I just don't know the issues I might be facing in this attempt. If this has been done before and discussed, I'd appreciate some help finding that.

Thanks...Kurt

shiftjis(5)							File Formats Manual						       shiftjis(5)

NAME

       shiftjis, SJIS - A character encoding system (codeset) for Japanese

DESCRIPTION

       The Shift JIS (SJIS) codeset consists of the following character sets: JIS X0201 JIS X0208 User-Defined Characters (UDC)

   Shift JIS Encoding
       Shift  JIS  character  codes use a combination of single-byte data and 2-byte data to represent characters defined in the JIS X0201 and JIS
       X0208 standards and in the UDC area.

       All JIS X0201 characters are represented in the form of single-byte data. The Roman letters in JIS X0201 are encoded by	setting  the  most
       significant bit (MSB) of each byte to off, while the Katakana characters are encoded by setting the most significant bit (MSB) of each byte
       to on. For more information on JIS X0201 characters, refer to deckanji(5). In the Super DEC Kanji codeset, the code ranges  for	JIS  X0201
       characters are as follows: For Roman letters, 00 to 7F For Katakana characters, A1 to DF

       JIS  X0208 characters are encoded in 2-byte values.  The values for the first bytes are encoded so that they fall outside the range of byte
       values for JIS X0201 characters (in other words, the JIS X0208 first byte ranges are from 81 to 9F and from E0  to  FC).  In  this  manner,
       characters from the two different standards can be supported by the same codeset. The range for the second byte of a JIS X0208 character is
       40 to FC (except for 7F).  For more information on JIS X0208 characters, refer to deckanji(5).

       The Shift JIS codeset provides for 2444 UDC characters. These are encoded as 2-byte values whose code range is F040 to FCFC.

   Font Support for Super DEC Kanji
       For display devices, the operating system supports Super DEC Kanji encoding by conversion to DEC Kanji encoding and then using fonts avail-
       able for DEC Kanji.  Refer to the iconv_intro(5) reference page for information on codeset conversion.

       For printers, the operating system supports only printer-resident fonts; therefore, Super DEC Kanji fonts cannot be dynamically loaded to a
       printer.  For general information on printing non-English text, refer to i18n_printing(5).
