INTERESTING! One of the two was cut! The other was solid. What really
gets me is that this CD-ROM booted my IPC, SGI Indy, and IPX w/o
flinching. My 3301 appears to have both cut, however I get a 'Data
exception error' on boot, and am promptly returned to my 'ok' prompt.
I'll give it a shot... it turns out a friend of mine has a spare SS5/20
CD-ROM sitting collecting dust, so I think I'll add that to the system.
Take care, and thanks for the advice!
