Hello all,
I have resurrecting a P70 IBM, I have done a full recap of the planar, video card and plasma display.
The P70 is now starting, and I have the classical 162 / 163 Error,

I have plugin a Gotek with an adapter, and I am able to start the ref disk v 1.04,
The system gets configured but after a reboot, I put a known bootable disk in the gotek and it refused to boot and switch to basic immediately.
Even running the Ref is impossible after...

The HDD is starting but not booting,

How can I solve this ? seems that the P70 is really picky

Thanks

Vincent
