Help me before I go insane! I'm trying to get a 20Gig HD installed in my Lib100, and for the life of me, I can't remember how I got the one installed in my 110 (I remember fighting with a ton of floppies). I've tried Ghosting the 110 drive to the 100 drive, but I can't get the 3Com 3C589D card working with the Ghost boot floppy. It USED to, but the 3C589.com errors out now, and I'm not sure what I'm missing - I've been all over 3Com's site, and tried the driver install downloads multiple times. The card works, as I can use it in Win98 on the 110. Since I have to use IBM's Disk Manager, it seems the Ontrack overlay screws my chances of simply dropping the new 20Gig HD into a PCMCIA case and jacking it in, copying files to it - when I jack it into the 110 (or the 100 with the original 2.1G HD), it loads the drivers, but doesn't see the single 2Gig partition I have on there so far. At this point, I don't necessarily want to Ghost over the old drive, since each system might be used for different things, and I think I want to start completely fresh. But if I can get the 3Com3C589D card working, I guess I might Ghost it over - does anyone use this card, and if so, what files do you use for a DOS boot floppy to get it to work? So, on to the actual Subject of the email. It seems the PCMCIA CD drive I have has the drivers for DOS (and I KNOW they've worked, I used to have a boot floppy with card socket services on it SOMEWHERE), but no card socket services. If I can get some DOS card socket services that work with the Lib110, I can create a boot floppy that will allow CD access, and install nice and fresh. And before people tell me to just format the HD in the Lib, move it to a desktop, and copy the CAB files over, remember the IBM overlay - it seems to be screwing with the ability of the Lib100 with Win98 to read the drive, so I'm not holding my breath about plugging it into my Win98 desktop and reading it either. -- Tom Stangl ***http://www.vfaq.com/ ***DSM Visual FAQ home ***http://ba.dsm.org/ ***SF Bay Area DSMs ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
