Question Boot interaction
Hi Corrail,

Many thanks for your suggestion and your interest in my problem.

Having read what you recommended, I pulled out the casing, which holds hard disk, cdrom and floppy drive (front panel) and I seen tow ribbons one a grey (bluish) colour wide with two rows of 25 hols at one end with a little tag saying “single ended scsi - drive” connected to the disk drive and the end way saying “single ended scsi - disk interface board”.

I pulled this ribbon off and powered up the machine and to my surprise kernel was loaded as usual CDE appeared and ready to login. On this ribbon was written:

LL31941 CSA AWM I A 105C 300V FT-1

The second ribbon, a narrow one and whit colour and written on it:

20297 CSA AWM I A 105C 150 FT-1 SPECTRA-STRIP FAST 20/40 -SCSI RL AWM STYLE.

I don not know how to locate the IDE cable, but will I be looking in the motherboard tomorrow as it's now half past one in the morning at my neck of wood.

Please if you can shed some light as to how I can locate this “IDE” cable and furthermore by disconnecting this cable, would I be able to power up this machine and get to the MA> prompt as was suggest by our friend Awadhesh?

Once again many thanks for your time and all others who will be showing an interest.

M.H
