Subject: Getting an OS on a Lib
Folks,
A question. Don't think it's been answered in the recent discussions...
Just got another Lib 100CT with a blank HDD. Tried various OS installations
and nothing would recognise my CD drive (its an HP writer, M8230e I think).
Gave in and found some floppies with DOS 6.2, installed that and installed
the CD's Dos drivers from floppy but now get an error about Card driver not
being installed and APSI Manager not installed. Does this mean it's not
recognising the PCMCIA slots? Seems strange as the FDD works! I thought the
BIOS did this? Do I need some Tosh drivers loaded in addition to any
standard MSDOS stuff?
Thought about doing it via a cable link to my other PC. I have a COM port
type of lead, but not sure if I need the Null Modem adapter?? The other
machine is running Win 98. Should I use the Microsoft Direct connect
program? and what should be running on the new "DOS" machine? Interlink??
Any help or instructions either on or off list would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Andy.

Ps following on from my note last week, the Libs at auction were from the
Dome and went for £325 to £350 which doesn't sound too bad until you add
17.5% vat and 10% buyers premium! :-(
