Hi guys,
We've just resurrected an original A500 (and we're talking rev. 5, Kickstart 1.2 - the works. It even has a C= symbol in place of the left Amiga key) and its A590.
We got the A500 to boot - reluctantly! The boot disk was a little old, and of course no autobooting with KS1.2... The A590 is connected and whirs correctly. However, when the A500 tries to mount it the head seems to step for a while, and then stops.. we're then treated to about 20 beeps from the hard disk (sounds like a piezo buzzer).
Anyone got any clues as to what to do? We'd like to get the info off this massive 20MB if we can....
Thanks!
