I have recently aquired an MM/1 extended used and I have some questions about it. Firstly, I notice that on the Microware disks there arent any extra device descriptors for /t2 and /t3. Do I just modify /t4? Is there a descriptor package that can be acquired? Secondly, is there a vendor of ROMS that can produce a ROM that bootstraps from the SCSI? It would be nice to boot from the hard disk instead of a floppy. Thirdly, my system will not boot. I recently installed a 5.25" disk drive and something must have happend. I removed the extended board and put my original 3.25" drive in and it still won't boot. I hear the drive make a noise 3 times, and then I get a Status Error #00F0 and then it resets. I have tried other boot diskettes, but to no avail. Fourthly, I notice all the floppy descriptors have the sectors per track setting set to 33. Shouldn't this be 36? If I remember correctly a 1.44MB drive when used on a PC has 18 sectors per track at 512 bytes per sector. On an MM/1 it should be 36 spt at 256 bytes per sector. This is also on the boot and driver diskettes. And lastly, I would like to know who holds the information on system registration. I would like to change the ownership from the person I bought it from to me. If anyone has any information concerning any above issue, please write me at eric_levinson@rcisnet.org or one of the addresses below: Thanks! -- Eric Levinson, CS Major, Senior, Sonoma State University rcisnet2!root@moon.nbn.com | Home computer (UUCP) levinson@vax.sonoma.edu | Vax BBS: Color Galaxy Milky Way +1 415 883-0696 (RCISNET.ORG)
