I initially tried using an IDE CD-ROM (set as secondary master) but when it did the hanging bit I then tried a floppy install ...... exactly the same thing. Now the specs of the 486 thing aren't exactly exciting, but I would have thought it would at least let me do an install. There's nothing outlandish in the way of stuff in it ..... all ISA / 1Mb Diamond videocard / 8x1 Mb 30pin RAM / 120Mb IDE / tried various network cards including 3c-509, SMC 8216 / Intel 8 / 16 .... doesn't seem to make any difference Any suggestions ??
