Ok David, I read your message. I don't have time for any detailed suggestions, however, let me think about it for the weekend. One question I have right away, why can't you boot from drive A:? There shouldn't be a problem with this. Plus, you do have to set the internal switches for 2 diskette drives if you are going to attach the 3.5" drive as an external drive. Or have you removed the 5.25" internal drive? Gene.

I got the HD bootable finally with a Y connector for the power supply. I now have disconnected the floppy and get the error, press F1 message. I'm going to try to find extensions for the power supply and floppy data connectors and string them outside to a non-powered external box for the floppy so that A: will be recognized. I'm now having problems with boot-up. from a cold start the system will always fr4e3eze up. It seems to freeze after the binddrivers or DJmount. I then do a warm boot and it usually works. Sometimes after a worm boot it does a JH0: not recognized requester and I have to warm boot again. Don't understand that but it has always eventually worked.
