Sorta.  It means that you can think of it as a 4100 in that it will
have the same unexplained problem a 4100 has with the 4.1 media -- it
won't boot from a floppy.  I don't know if a 4100 will boot from a CD
or if it will netboot.

Drew

I can tell you an AS1200 won't boot from CD.
When booting from either floppy or CD, I hang just at
the point I am trying to read 'kernel'.

If I boot directly from the CD, I get to the 'loading
kernel' message, then a long pause, then:

failed to send Read to dka500.5.0.1.1
device dka500.5.0.1.1 no longer valid [multiple times]
cb_open: failed SCSI 1 1 0 5 500 6000 11000, dka500.5.0.1.1
