i have temporarily stuck an ide disk into the machine and can boot it from a dos
partition no problem
what i cannot do is get the alphabios to recognise that the adaptec is indeed a
scsi controller which has a disk hanging off it
even though i could probably build a milo which recognised the adaptec - the bios
refuses to boot off the floppy saying there is no valid hard disk (it does not
consider an ide-based ls-1200 to be a hard disk - maybe rightly so)
i've been at this for 4 months now and so if some of you (perhaps also rightly so)
consider this to be off-topic then i'm truly sorry
the fact is i have two of these machines (identical) and have sunk serious amounts
of money into them
please, please, please somebody help me to get them working
