I hate to be the bearer of bad news (again!) but the atapi.flp now doesn't even recognize my second IDE controller! In fact, it gives the exact same error message "wdc1 not found at 0x170" that the non-ATAPI boot.flp bootdisk gives me, leading me to suspect that you somehow forgot to uncomment "options ATAPI" or "device wcd0" when you made this boot disk. Could it be that you accidentally made atapi.flp with the same config file as boot.flp? :-) Hopefully, it was a simple mistake in the config file, and not Yet Another ATAPI Problem! If I'd known there would be so much TROUBLE with ATAPI I would've gone SCSI, but all the other OS's I've used supported it just fine, so I don't know what the problem is (that is, compared to all the other brain-damaged PC hardware I've seen!). At any rate, thanks for trying! Has anyone else (with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive on the second controller) tried this newest (Oct.30) boot floppy?!? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
