yes, i know ;). when i had last used them in any way, they worked. between then and recently - i have heard of others who've not had any luck getting them to boot either - they borked. i don't know what happened between then and more recently. as to my recovery, i used 'System Disk', a flashed adaptec 2940UW SCSI PCI card, and a 68 pin scsi drive with mock os on it, and setting the NVRAM so i could boot to the second machine. i set boot-command so that it would find the root= device, e.g., done in linux, not from 'System Disk', though it's very doable: 'nvsetenv boot-command boot Linux single root=/dev/sdc2' (anything after 'Linux' is the kernel boot args passed to quik then to the kernel). then i was able to fix my boo-boo on the first machine. -- Software Patents are patently wrong: http://swpat.ffii.org/papiere/eubsa-swpat0202/ustr0309/index.en.html
