John, One thing I might add to Rob's comments... The SAM (sample) files are potentially large and you will have to tar them to tape (not floppy) to capture them all. I suppose if you have another workstation on a 2nd Ethernet network, with sufficient hard disk space, you could copy those files to a tmp directory (across the 2nd Ethernet only because of heavy traffic) and then copy them back to your new machine.
