Date: 8 May 1994 05:28:01 GMT Organization: The University of Western Australia Lines: 22 Message-ID: <2qht91$5bj@styx.uwa.edu.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: tartarus.uwa.edu.au X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I had this problem with the GAMMA disks too.. I just downloaded 1.1-RELEASE, and the kcopy_ah boot floopy doesn't find the IDE controller on my 386DX40... HELP !!! I tried putting the ST506 controller out of my old NEC PowerMate SX Plus in there and it finds that OK (although it won't format the disk !) so it can't be an address conflict.. The IDE controller is on a PeakTron Multi-I/O board and it works just fine with DOS and SCO ODT.. So what gives guys ? There used to be an altwd boot disk for 1.02 (I'll download that and see if that works..) - Is there anything similar for 1.1 ? Waiting Imaptiently, Ken Taylor
