Hello
I came into possession of a 715/75, which I understood was supported.
I obtained the ISO CD image, and a friend burned it for me (raw, with
closure, he assured me).
I popped it into the external drive and powered up.
Powering up gave me three boot options (I pressed ESC to get these):
P0 scsi.6.0 Seagate ST11200N
P1 scsi.3.0 Sony CDROM CDU-561
P2 scsi.0.0 Teac FC-1 HF V7
The Sony drive was used as I suspected the supplied HP drive (I've
forgotten the model) failed, virtually in the same manner as the Sony
(as follows):
b p1:
Trying scsi.3.0
Failed to initialize scsi.3.0
ENTRY_INIT status = -7
....dump of some registers...
Going into admin mode let me do another search, which found ONLY the
P0 device.
I attempted to compare the CD image with the ungzipped ISO image, but
of course I couldn't mount it. The message was "mount: No medium
found", which I presume resulted from not having a file system on the
CD.
Can any reader tell me if I have a CD problem, or a hardware problem
(and what the solution might be)?
Thanks,
Dean
