Ack!!!! I just ordered a system to run 386BSD on and am getting the 1542C
after being assured by the salesperson that it was compatable with the B.
Anyone working on getting it to work? Will it be possible to boot from
floppy and access the HD to at least be able to try and fix it or do I
have to wait till someone kindly fixes it and makes a new boot floppy
available?
