Some minor progress. I noticed a piece of folded up paper wedged underneath the SX1, presumably to raise it up a bit. The paper was wore down considerably though, it was hardly raising the SX1 at all. So just in case, I folded it in half again, further increasing the amount of elevation. This time when I booted it up while pressing both mouse buttons, something different happened.
There are some options under the boot menu!! Woot right!? Well, they don't SEEM to do anything when I mess with them. This is what they say, and roughly how they are laid out on the screen.
DF8 Enabled - DF8 Priority 5 RDOS Trackdisk - 0
CC0 Enabled - CC0 Priority 3 RDOS Carddisk - 0
There are a couple of "8's" and a couple of "0's" that might be mixed up - it is really hard to tell the difference between the zeros and eights on my TV.
When I messed with some of these, changing "Enabled" to "Disabled" and reset, nothing changed. When I clicked on either the DF8 or the CC0 on the far left and clicked "use" and then "boot", still nothing changed.
At least it seems to be a little progress right?
Oh, and yeah, everytime I rebooted it, I powered it all the way down instead of just resetting it. I wanted to be sure.
