Looking for an old series

  • SpinRite v6.1 Release #3
    Guest:
    The 3rd release of SpinRite v6.1 is published and may be obtained by all SpinRite v6.0 owners at the SpinRite v6.1 Pre-Release page. (SpinRite will shortly be officially updated to v6.1 so this page will be renamed.) The primary new feature, and the reason for this release, was the discovery of memory problems in some systems that were affecting SpinRite's operation. So SpinRite now incorporates a built-in test of the system's memory. For the full story, please see this page in the "Pre-Release Announcements & Feedback" forum.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

If anyone can help me, it's this group.

I'm trying to track down a TV series from when I was younger, late 60's to early 70's. I live in the US but we were close enough to Canada that we got CHCH 11 out of Hamilton, Ontario. The show was produced by either CBC or BBC, maybe ITV (producers of Space: 1999).

I was around ten years old, so the details are a little sketchy, but here's what I remember. The premise of the series was that something had happened to Earth that forced humanity to launch an 'ark' into space. it was a large ship with several sections. Each episode, the main characters would enter a new section and solve some problem with the ship itself or something with the people inhabiting this section. Each section has its own culture and maybe represented a different time period on Earth. None of the inhabitants of the ship realize they are on a spaceship, with the exception of the main characters. Occasionally they would come across some of the spaceships personnel (they obviously know they're on a spaceship).
 
Thanks, Tazz, I'll bet that's it.
I see Amazon has it on DVD - I know what I want for my birthday.
