Was 4.1 released on CD or only on tape? I am wondering if there is
something strange about booting from CD that might be causing the
machine to lockup. Perhaps it must have a TKQ70 and TK70 for original
booting? Any ideas or suggestions?
IFF it must boot from TK70, what are the settings for the TKQ70
board to work in the thing? I am not sure what board is in the last
slot, but it may be the bridging board. I thought it was a ram
board, but the ram looked a little strange mand more like line driver
chips possibly, dunno for sure, yet. But, if it is the bridge board,
then I am home free for the TKQ70 at least.
Any suggestions or insights appreciated.
Bob
