I've recently decided to upgrade our Wyse pc386 (it came with a dinky 40MB
disk). I contacted a Wyse distributor (Wyle Labs) and they recommended
and sold me an Adaptec ACB-2322A ESDI controller and a Micropolis 1558
382MB ESDI disk. Great! But there was no manual with the disk and I've
never installed a setup like this before. Looks simple, right?
I've connected everything as is, using all the defaults. Cables in the
right places, ground connectors connected, ready to go. I try to boot the
SETUP disk so I can change the configuration and get in to twiddle the
CMOS and the system tells me that it can't find a BOOTABLE DEVICE! So
now what?
I've got calls in to both Wyle and Wyse. They are DEFINITELY taking their
time in responding. Meanwhile the machine is so much junk iron! I'm guessing
that I need to change some jumpers or something, but have NO idea what to
pick. I don't want to start to messing with stuff without some knowledge
of what I'm doing for all the obvious reasons.
Can someone offer some help? I'm tired of calling Wyle and Wyse and REALLY
want to be able to use this machine.
