REBYTE is not appropriate in this case.  These two are essentially 
identical Itel chips both little endian if used naturally.  I think it 
would have been possible to force aips to use the MACPPC version on the 
old machine but it is highly doubtful that you would have been so foolish.

REBYTE is a stand alone program run outside AIPS.  HELP REBYTE will 
work, but it is not a task and of course TGET does not work until you 
have run some tasks and TGET REBYTE will never work.

That leaves us with the more important problem - why is it not seeing 
your old data?  Do you really use aips number 10216 (extended hex 7VS)?
Can you send me all the messages you get when you start up aips?

I'm migrating from old to new computer, and I set my Disk 1/2/3 on the new computer be the one that I created using my old computer.  I was expecting to see quite a few files under those disks, however I found no data there.  I copied the directories from old one to the new one.  Is that what we should expect?  If I say pcat, on those disks that I should have some files on, it says
