Once again, I need help figuring our what is wrong with my Z.
I backed the motherboard mods out and put the UCI 512K board back in
and still have problems. I no longer get random "parity or buss errors",
all I get is nothing. CHKDSK has recently begun to report that my hard
drive is a probable non-dos disk, CED has begun to vanish any time I
interrupt any i/o with ^C. And occasionally, the machine goes away.
Rebooting always fixes it. The last straw came last night when CHKDSK
refused to output anything and refused to give the keyboard back. I
reformatted (again) and reloaded, then tried to run CONFIGUR. Everything
went smoothly until I told it to write to memory and disk, and it wiped
out my system tracks. On a related note, about three reformats ago, I
had problems with mkdir, which would hang and leave me with a link to \,
which gave CHKDSK fits, and which I could not rename, delete, or anything.
This is getting to be a tidge annoying. I had decided I had a corrupted
OS, so reloaded from original disks, same problems, except now I have to
reformat tonite. HELP! What's this monster doing? (BTW I am operating
off the HD now, I just had to boot from floppy.)
Gern, your offer of a new MB is sorely tempting, but I need to find truly
gainful employment before I can spare that much cash. I hope you still
have it when I can afford to make an offer.
