... And what happens if I exchange the source disk with a new one?
This system is old and someday a disk crash could happen! Someone told
me that 9402 mod. 200 has no M/FULIC because it was not needed by its
hardware; does anyone here has more info on that? Does someone has
some paper stating that this is true for this particular model?

If it's true that there is no FULIC I could just replace the damaged
disk and reload everything, but if it's false, I must find an old copy
of that (very rare) tape! And I'm afraid of this as much as of the
idea that replacing the source disk will trigger on the system
password request!

TIA for your info!
