Stefan Vanrafelghem stands accused of saying: > Unfortunately, I still cannot get my PC to boot up from the boot.flp floppy. > I gave the floppy to a friend, to try on his PC, and it worked fine! > So I guess it's not the floppy. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY PC?!?!" Um, what happens when you try to boot your machine? What errors do you get? > It has a Future Domain SCSI controller, which seems to be controlling: Which model? > one floppy drive > two hard drives > (1 Conner 1.4G and 1 Maxtor 240Meg) > one double speed CD-ROM. > > It also has a "Stealth 32" video card. That's a Diamond board; should work well under XFree86. > I don't know who manufactured the mother-board, but several of the chips > have "OPTi" labelled on them... (please excuse my ignorance.) That's OK. I haven't had any problems that could be traced to OPTi chipsets (yet 8) > If anyone knows of any problems with any of these devices please let me know. The SCSI controller may not be supported; IIRC, Future Domain have a fairly retentive policy concerning documentation. > Stefan J.
