I recently purchased my dream machine, but am having problems
installing Interactives version of Unix.
My System is:
Mylex IWS-J Motherboard with 4MB of 80ns SIMM Dram, 25MZ, 64K of
read cache, 12MZ bus speed, no math coprocessor, AMI bios.
Adaptec AHA 1542 SCSI controller attached to:
1 CDC 155MB (formatted) full height drive.
1 Teac 1.2MB fdd. A:
1 Chinon 1.44MB fdd. B:
1 Chickory 16bit VGA card and Leading edge VGA monitor
6 slot tower case, 230 watt power supply.
The symptoms are:
On boot with the Interactive floppy, the system paints the
Interactive LOGO and then does nothing. The floppy disk drive
spins continously. Nothing else happens. I have waited as long
as 20 minutes. I DO have the write protect tab off the boot
floppy.
I have been able to successfully install SCO XENIX and DOS 3.3 on
the hard drive, and can run with either.
I'm stimied. Any body run into this before? Any ideas?
