Thats a very old version of Caldera's OpenLinux packaged with the book. If the hardware is much newer, (which it is) then you most likely will have issues getting it to work.
I used OpenLinux a long long time ago, and it worked back on my then newer 200mhz box. But I've never gotten it to work on any of the newer equipment since then.
Does the monitor show anything at all, such as the POST? Which would be the memory counting, and alittle info about the hardware.
If this is true, then what you might be meaning is that the X server does not work. And that would be due to being such an old version of the X server not able to work with your monitor & video card.
Since you say you reformatted the drive, that means you had your hands inside the case, it is possible, seen this happen alot, where someone removes a hardware item and accidently bumps the video card slightly, thus causing the card to loosen in the slot. Try re-seating the video card. Completely remove it and then re-insert the card.
It is possible the first time, the X server failed to work, giving you a blank screen, and when you removed the hard drive, you bumped the card, so that the card now is the issue, while the first time was the X server.
Look for signs of the bios working, by the beeps or if you have a Optical mouse, if the mouse lights up. Not the surest sign, but it should give alittle clue.

I guess the subject asks it all, but I am wondering (before I go and code a COBOL module) if conversion of regular ASCII data to COMP-3 is possible on a UNIX environment (AIX 5.1)? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Dave (13 Replies)
