Hi, I seem to have some Startup-Sequence issues, could some one please post their Startup-sequence when running a stock A1200 and OS 3.9, that would be a big help to me.
Also something is wrong with my Path and I can not install anything, every install program I run ends in error with the script not being able to read the C: folder. When I try to open Shell_VNC first I get a system request to please insert volume IMIMIM. I click cancel and the shell responds with
IMIMIM: device (or volume) not mounted
Path failed return code 10
then I get a prompt and can proceed. I have never heard of the IMIMIM and I have looked over and over again through the Startup-Sequence for some idea of what it is.
Thank you

Some stuff will be heavily dependant on what you have installed software/hardware wise, so it's not a good idea to use someone else's.
Are you using a disk with installed software from another machine or from another installation of the same machine (different places for necessary commands etc.) ? If so you'd have to try to configure the software by hand, not easy, could be faster to just reinstall it (provided you have the installers).
-
Honestly this first Startup Sequence looks exactly like mine, so that a little funny that mine wants to tell me that I have incorrect number of argument and Unknown file. What about the IMIMIM volume anybody heard of that. Thanks for the help.

How does your user-startup look? Maybe that's where your trouble is.

@punkycloown
You are aware that OS3.9 isn't meant to be run on a stock machine right? The minimum requirements are 4 MB fast ram, so clearly some things has to be disabled and Shell_VNC might be one of them (it's just a guess).
What is it you are trying to install that gives an error message? And how do you try to install it?
-
punkyclown: I'd also suggest having a look at your user-startup. I'm curious about the request for IMIMIM: I've never heard of it....
A silly idea, do you have a virus checker going on your system? That IMIMIM: sounds a bit fishy to me...

Sorry, I should have said I have an 8 Meg memory board in the trap door with FPU. I think I will disengage my user startup and see what happens, thanks.
