MFX3 newbe questions

MFX3 newbe questions

2013-05-23 by andrei.kudryavtsev

Hello All, 
I've just bought MFX3 system early unit that was shipped with 12.1 software. The system is in great condition, unbelievable I was the first who powered it on since 1995. However it doesn't have HDDs, nor internal or external. So, no SW to boot it. 
Does any body have the image of 12.1 and could please share it with me? (or any compatible, please). 
I also own CMI III, I cloned boot drive from that system and could even boot MFX3 to 9.34 splash screen. Obviously I couldn't complete the boot but at least confirmed that MFX3 starts Ok.

Are there MFX (not plus) users in US? I'll be traveling within two week from WA, OR, down to CA. That's sad nobody responded to my previous message but I could take SCSI adapter with me and clone your HDD with MFX software by myself. 
The chances to find it looks extremely low, so, I do appreciate, if somebody(even without tech expertise) would agree for that. From my side could guarantee to finish it quickly and bring gifts from Russia. Anybody, please? :)

Andrei -

I don't have a MFX, but I'm in Portland, OR, if you want to get together.
