Any AMIX users out there?
« on: February 17, 2004, 04:25:37 AM »
Or at least anyone that tinkers/plays with it?  I'm trying to set it up for fun and I'm running into issues making boot disks.  It's most likely something simple I'm doing wrong but I figured I'd throw it out cause I seem unable to resolve it on my own:

I've created boot floppies from the images found on the mmhart web site, but when I try to boot from them on my 3000D it pops up with "Not a valid DOS disk" or something similar.  I'm rather frustrated as it would appear nobody has ever had this issue.  Any help would be appreciated.

But, I've never gone down installing it, cause of the 040 in my A3000.


I'd be happy to just get that far.

@Crusher

Yup.  It's a great site.  In fact I emailed Mark there and he was great at replying.  I think the problem may be with the internal floppy drive.  I don't think it's working at 100%, so I'm going to rebuild/replace it and try again.  I'm hoping this allows progress.  According to all that I have conversed with about this, it should be very straightforward to get this working which is why I'm leaning towards a hardware issue.
