Hey Guys
I have an EIII OS 2.30 firmware 1.0 and i'm trying to troubleshoot. I have an OS disk 2.42 that i want to boot to.
I thought if you have a floppy disk it would just boot to disk but it doesnt. I went into disk utilities and did a "copy software from FD and it gives me "FD DATA LOST ERROR" I tried a different drive, swapped out my ribbon cable i know my WD1772 is good. Anyone know what the heck i am doing wrong.
Thanks
Josh

As a punishment, you should put your head into the toilet and yell : "I should flush you !"
