XT on 3000
4 messages in this thread
Hi All!
I just installed an XT BB on my 3000 and can't get it to boot from the
external 3.5" drive. What's wrong with it? Also, it worked without the cpu
command.. is that bad or id that the problem thanks for your help…

I don't think…hang on while I check my manual…nope…I was
afraid of that. the external drive appears as dribe B;, and you can't
boot from that one. You'll need to somehow install the 5 1/2 inch drive
externally, or rig up a 3 1/2 inch drive internally, connected the
Bridgeoard internal rive connector. Good Luck sj
Thanks for all your help…I don't have my 5.25" drive with me (at college)
so I'll have to wait. Thanks again.

Tim,
I loaded my harddrive in my 3000 with the cover off and the 5 1/4 dirve
hooked up. Now I use the harddrive to boot and Cross-DOS and AT copy to
add files. You could do the same thing as a temporary measure and with the
XT you may be able to use an Amiga external drive or with the top off any
standard IBM drive to startup. Remember that you have to turn off the
drive in CMOS on the bridgecard before you reboot.
