Hi All, (again)
A few days ago I requested any info on AT-Bus floppy
drives.
Most people replying suggested that I get a boot prom(s)
to boot over the network.
I HAVE TRIED to get info from our local suppliers/builders
and some people who supposedly have this arrangement of
booting from the net. Because of NO RESPONSE on this
request I posted for an AT-Bus floppy.
If their is anyone on the net that has any information
of bootable PROMs kit for PC's Please E-mail me.
I will summarise if desired by the net.
OUR configuration.
A 386SX/16 machine with on board floppy and hard-disk controller
2Megabyte of ram (will upgrade to 4 Megabyte min)
fitted with 5 1/4" (1.2Meg floppy)
3 1/2" (1.44Meg floppy)
NO hard disk (We will not install one)
Interlan Network card NI5210 with a socket for The BOOT Prom
if I get one to work. We will configure
as Thin Ethernet.
Sorry for the repost, But the option of buying a floppy-card to support
4 drives doesn't wash with us either, We have two good I/f on board already
Ta Very Muchly,
