Please help me! I recently inherited a Unisys 5000/50. When I loaded the OS, I mistakenly specified my system as a 5000/30 (that's what its former owner said it was...) Anyway, the unit worked for a few hours before locking up, and now I can't re-boot it. The autoload sequence sails along nicely until it gives me a 'f501 device not present/ready' error. Then if I hit return, it will continue until the 'file system needs repairs' message, where it refuses to accept my 'y' response to the automatic repair query. On manual boot, it gives me the first menu screen but ignores my selections entirely. What did I do, and what can I do to fix it? Many thanks! --Cliff
