Hi Larry,I've followed this thread with interest. =C2=A0I have one of these=
machines but I've not worked with it in several years. =C2=A0I know that I=
could follow your emails, but have you considered doing a blog post on you=
r trials and errors so that others could give this a shot? =C2=A0I'm sure t=
hat others have this machine floating about (as I have). =C2=A0If you have =
a blog it could be very helpful to share what worked and what didn't.
But of course, only if you have the time.Dereck=20

My Documents folder under CE and inserted the microdrive and started
the NetBSD install.
However, the installer fails to see either of the microdrives.=C2=A0 when
inserted after boot install, I get:
card appears to have bogus CIS
Googled it but can't really find any useful hints......=C2=A0 Something
about bad PCI(which it doesn't have)
On another note, I installed Ted since it's a rich text format editor
like WordPad, and I can't get it to do anything other than show the
startup image.=C2=A0 I try to open a file or create a new file and it does
SOMETHING(the drive light blinks for a while) but then it still shows
the startup screen.........
Needless to say I am getting a bit underwhelmed about actually being
able to use NetBSD on this productively........
Thanx for all the help.
