Oh, floppy boot sector.... :sweatdrop: Well, I did a post mortem "sys a:" on the offending disk, with old files and all, and no visible changes, but NOW it boots just fine! As for the disk-2-disk copy, all I did was: - prepare disk, as in partition and format, setting active partition etc - copy all …

I've been wrestling with getting a microdrive to boot now for hours.... :dead: And finally gave up the idea of just copying a full install from another hdd to the preformatted microdrive... sigh... whatever I did I could NOT for the life of me get the drive to actually boot off the copied install.

I assume you have the bin-only version of the SS-file(s) ? Never encountered a size mismatch(have you changed the original chip??), so I'm probably not much help, but... What commands are you writing when executing the awdflash ? http://i47.tinypic.com/zjh354.jpg PS: worst case, getting a new chip …

@kool kitty89: You're probably right. I no longer remember what options I tried during initial set-up (unchanged now for 12+ years!). Though I do seem to recall that it wouldn't work at that speed for my particular specimen, unless I upped the voltage some more. I THINK it is at 1.9v now. (either …

My s370 celery 566@850 (in slot1) has been running 'non-stop' now since 2000, with a rather high(max) voltage*. (*: don't remember what it actually is now, as I had to do some slotket/bios magic to get back the higher values, and bios value is not correct - it even believes it to be an Piii 803mhz …

Heh... fun fact, that site is actually an 'ebay company'.

... Oh, 512mb cards probably aren't worth paying a lot of extra money for. 256mb should be enough for most games from that time period. Paying twice as much for a brand new 512mb card isn't going to provide much benefit, if any, in a vintage rig playing period games that will never need that much …
