at startup both seem to be recognized

mine has two FDHD disks, although i don't know what exactly was
upgraded. I got the box used and was just happy to have 1.4 disks. the
thing reports IWN though, not SWIM.

am quite under pressure but will try as soon as i can and post report
to the list, public to all.

after all i have to experiment with unix a bit, have to configure
mail, so i can send a PR as was requested.


another problem is that i wanted to have a pascal. Gnu PC was adivsed
me. i had to d/l also gcc, i filled up my dis to 98% and wasn't able
to compile it (gives an error in the make). if someone has a ready
pascal in which i can develop it would be useful.


anyway until the SCSI freezes are fixed the thing is quite
unusable.... so i hope to get mail and PR working as soon as possible,


cheers, it's late night, riccardo
