ditto here, I always had good luck once I got a bootdisk/rootdisk pair written. Only difference now is that it's bootdisk + 2 rootdisks.
PS Micron is a PC brand, but now that you mention it, don't know if they're still selling them under that name. They were pretty good, tended to be small in physical size for the power you got. This is a 1997 dual-P200 model that's in a pretty small case.
