Sco UNIX wont boot - long beeps
HI All,
I have an old SCO-UNIX machine which I support a long standing client / friend with.
I don't use it very often, and is kept switched off. All was well 2 weeks ago, but when I tried to boot today all I get is a continuous set of long beeps but no booting. I have checked inside and cant see any obvious signs of a problem.
Any ideas - I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Andy
