Rajnish was once rumoured to have said:
Now, turn your machine on, and give the HALT switch (the little button
on the front that was once a reset switch) a good tapping whilst the
machine is booting up. You should eventually get a SRM prompt.
That worked !! I've got the SRM console prompt ">>>".
I did notice something peculiar (there always is, isn't it) -- the
jumber (J6) was wired for HALT- but pressing the reset button caused
the system to reboot - everytime. So I jumpered it to RESET to get it to
halt (had to push reset many times).(Initially, I thought I was
reading the diagram/jumpers wrongly - but I am pretty certain now I was
reading/jumpering it correctly).
For the record, Control-C doesn't get the SRM console prompt - but this
could be because I am connected via the serial port and
win95:terminal.exe swallows it.
Thanks all so far. I am sure I'll have more questions when I get to
the next step.
Regards,
Rajnish
