Grrrr. Ok - I get a new motherboard for my system, install my ESDI drive,
Ethernet board, etc, and boot up. Works great for the first 2 hours, then
shuts down. I try to reboot.
I get the opening screen (SCO Xenix 2.3.1 (c) etc etc etc), and it lists
out my hardware. So far so good. I get the kernel sizes, max user size,
and then it gets to the ABCDEFGH diagnostics. It locks up at S. CAN
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT S IS? The manuals say 'If the diagnostics
fail at some point, it indicates a hardware problem. Fix the problem and
restart the system.' Thanks guys.
So, any help from the Net.WorldatLarge? (note - DOS boots ok, and none of
the hardware is affecting it - video, HD ctrler, WD8003, all don't make a
diff. - motherboard is brand X type, with advanced AMI bios setup routines,
C&T chipset, XT form factor, 20 mghz (goes to 24, actually).
