Go find some cheezball ISA IDE controller, I mustn't open the cover of the machine, because in this case the varanty would be void... :( There are stupid dealers... So, could you make a bootable CD-install-image to this machine? In this case please put it onto an ftp server! Because I know that this machine can boot from CD-rom. I installed AIX on that in that way... I have another question: What hardware contain this machine? Because it contains SCSI card, but i don't know what type of it,etc... I know only that about the hardware, what the AIX write me out...:( I think all of machine like this (604e 43P 140) contains the same hardware by default. Is it true? Please help me! (Again:And please make a bootable cd-install-image! I have CD-RW, so I can re-write the CD, in that case if you fail sg.)
