I have a C-Lab Falcon MKII which I purchased from Toad Computers 2-3 years ago. Since December of last year I had been having trouble booting the Falcon with the cdrom drive and scsi cable connected to the Falcon's scsi port. Every time I tried booting the Falcon in this way, the boot partition would become corrupted and I would have to reload the boot files. The other day, I tried it one more time and the worst happened...the Falcon no longer operates. The fan comes on, the hard drive starts to spin up, and nothing else happens. I disconnected the hard drive and tried to boot from floppy---nothing. The fan comes on and the power indicater light comes on but that's it. No floppy activity. Does this mean that my $1400.00 computer is now junk? I am now very frustated, sad, and angry. What can I do now to rectify this situation that won't cost me an arm and a leg to fix? All I really want to do is to get the machine up and running again in order to be able to use it as trade in for a TOS clone motherboard/cpu. Thank you, Sam Ferrer Falcon030, 14mb ram, 540mb hd, 17" svga monitor, MagiC, Pagestream, NVDI, ExtedDos Pro, ICD HD utilities.
