Dream Machine

[rich ruscio]

Took the tray out of the bay, then the drive out of the tray.

Drive 1: Brandy new Samsung floppy drive - didn't appear in drive listing, can't figure out how to read the POST discoveries, because the drives roll up off the top of the screen.

Drive 2: Umpteen year old Alps floppy, captured from an old WixXX machine. Still didn't appear in drive listing, but felt different in my hand. Fed it the BIOS update diskette, and the BIOS found the drive, read the files, updated itself. Yeah!!!

Started Windows installer, pressed F6, swore my allegiance to The Dark Side, fed it the RAID driver diskette, and it took it. Formatting now.

(*&^$%#^*&)($% computers.

More later, after I get back from Date Nite, and fight with this thing some more ...

Thanks,
