There is probably a couple of things I left out of my email, too. First, I assume all risk when f*&^%ing around with my machine like this, so I'm not trying to hammer on anyone, but I do appreciate help and info people can offer! Together is how progress is made, at the end of the day. I got this machine so that I could have a quicker machine to do boot floppy and install doc development on, after all.
No, I'm getting no output on the monitor. Yes, I did run quik beforehand. But I can check my .conf file again when I am in front of the machine and make sure that it is right. I still have the other machine, so whatever I can do on that, like run quik, I will. I'll try the reset thing and check the quik.conf on Monday. a Rick Cook wrote: > > On Sat, 03 Feb 2001 02:19:49 Andrew Sharp wrote: > > Well, I did the nvsetenv settings listed here on a 7600 I > > just aquired, and now my machine is hosed! ~:^( It won't > > boot at all, not from floppy, disk or anything.
