Thanks for the replies..
But now I have another problem.. I REV 6 motherboard. I changed the rom to a 3.1 version. Now when I install any OS older than 2.04, workbench loads up fine from FLOPPY but oddly only loads a blank screen from HD?!? Basically it loads to workbench but displays no icons and no menus....
In all the years, I have never seen this before. Even copying the disks to the HD manually from the working floppy, no change. This one is completely making no sense to me.. And why it would load fine from the floppy device but not the HD device? But if I then revert back to 2.04 or older, everything is fine again...
At first I thought the rom I bought was bad... but then why would it work with floppy disks of the same OS version?
Any ideas on this one?
