I gave up. ;) First attempt, the installer did not recognize the Twin Turbo.
Someone
on this list offered a fixed installer. Then, the machine lost track of the
CD, so the
installer displayed o.k. but could not see anything to install. ;) Then the
whole
SCSI went invisible - no CD, no floppy, no Zip. Soooo, sent it to the shop,
where
they replaced the motherboard (where the SCSI chip was mounted). Now the
installer
won't write (correctly) to the internal hard drives. Seems the E100 chip sorta
refuses
to let the two 2-gig disks be anything but RAID, no matter how I initialize
them.
And then too, it's a twin processor SMP, and THAT won't run anything but the
Umax-supplied demos (MacOS 7.6) and then for a maximum of 30 minutes.
I'm parting it out ;).
