Apparently, it is the disc. If I move the disc to another (identical, in this case) computer, the 'other' PC refuses to boot. Close enough... So, I plan to bring this box to the Lakeshore meeting Saturday. If anyone wants it (and has a disc to replace the duff one), it is theirs. I vaguely recall frustrating stuff about the BIOS - something about only a relatively small hard disc being supported. 5G? 3.5G? Memory fades. So, if anyone wants to butt their head against the disc size limit wall, this will be a good project for you. Not as interesting as the IBM ThinkPad 380D/DSL project*, but interesting enough. HNY to all.
Dibbs! I got lotsa hard drives.I forgot about black eyed peas. Cornbread is toxic to Lisa but I think we may have some field peas in the pantry and it's not too late yet.
