The first one failed 'cause of an apparent toasted ethernet interface. The second went just fine. The third is giving me problems very early. Firstly, the machine boots NT, which is currently installed (not for long, I hope) just fine. However, when I stick in the MFS root floppy, it churns for a second, momentarily flashes cm-wide red and white vertical lines on the screen, and the system resets. I've tried two sets of kern/mfsroot floppies with no difference. Anyone have a suggestion what to do?
