Hi --

I've written a short Pascal utility to dump the contents of my PERQ 1A's hard disk to a PC over the serial port;
I thought you might be interested in archiving the resultant raw disk image on Bitsavers.

Additionally, the dump utility itself might be useful to others, and I've also written a utility to browse and 
extract the POS filesystems from disk images created with said utility -- I also have available the extracted 
contents of the image of my PERQ's hard disk, which includes some interesting stuff like the microcode sources 
for the POS QCode interpreter.

If you're interested, I have the stuff available at: http://yahozna.dhs.org/computers/software/PERQ.
PERQ-hdimage.zip contains the hard disk image.
PERQ-hd-filesystem.zip contains a dump of the filesystem contents of the disk image.
Utilities/dumpdisk.pas contains the Pascal source for the disk dump utility
Utilities/PERQDisk.zip contains the C# source for the POS filesystem dump utility.

I'm currently working on extending the PERQDisk utility to handle POS floppy images and I hope to have something 
working relatively soon...

Thanks,
Josh
